What web development tools do you use?

For writing code, I like to use dreamweaver or eclipse (coldfusion versions) since they have the most up to date tag completion / insight

For text files, I use Ultraedit...it has a great compare, search and replace, and more

SQL Management studio for queries and database tasks (although it is slow)

What are some tools you use that help you with your development?
 
i have used a bunch but for my current job i mostly code win32 so i use

visual studio 2003 and 2005.

i use install shield pro for installs.

when i did java or php or ruby stuff, i would use eclipse with the right plugins. and the free oracle sql developer or toad for sql crap. oracle sql developer is slow because its java, same with eclipes but oh well they are free.
 
eclipse, netbeans, magicdraw (for my UML), and whatever free sql browser is out there (currently use dbvisualizer). Thinking about getting TextMate for my mac since all the ruby devs seem to be in love with it.
 
Dreamweaver in IDE, EditPad Pro for quick stuff, Navicat and MySQL GUI Tools for db, Poderosa for secure shell, Corel for graphics and design layout.
 
I use jedit. For those that are using notepad, the change is well worth it just for the syntax highlighting. Makes it much easier to spot syntax errors.

That's what Notepad++ is for. Open-source, support several formats, uses tabs, very nice.
 
you know, I remember when it was cool to say you used notepad instead of frontpage or homesite or whatever ide was popular back in the day. But now it's kind of pathetic. It's like using a a typewriter instead of a word processor app on your computer. Sure it gets the job done, but you'd be so much more productive in Word.
 
Zend Studio Client for PHP, HTML, CSS.

Visual Studio 2005 for ASP and .Net things.

Netbeans 5 for Java and BlackBerry development.
 
Eclipse w/
Java... etc. (Free)
PDT (PHP Development Tools) & Zend Debugger Extension (free) <-- still a little buggy... I used to use Zend Studio, but my license ran out.
Aptana (excellent HTML/CSS/JavaScript tool) (free)
Flex Builder 2.01 plugin (Flex, Apollo, duh)
XAMPP for all the server crap (Free)

SQLYog Enterprise for MySQL management

Toad for Oracle
Toad for SQL Server (free)

SuperEdi for generic text editing (free)


Photoshop for graphics
 
Java: Eclipse, Tomcat, MyEclipse, IDEA

.NET: Visual Studio 2005, IIS

Misc: vim, notepad2, cygwin,
 
these days I do mostly web programming:

Dreamweaver & XAMPP for PHP & MYSQL
Fireworks & Paint.NET for image creation & editing

Couldn't have said it better myselft.
 
I use RadRails for Ruby/Ruby on Rails, Komodo 3.5 for every other language and Aqua Data Studio 4.7 for Database work.
