Development Tools
Permalink
Thought it would be interesting to hear what applications people like to use when developing with C5. I'm an old school Mac guy, I mostly use SKedit for coding but I'm thinking it might be time to switch it up. I think Flux is pretty interesting, although I haven't been using it so much lately, I don't like all the inline CSS it makes. Acorn is a cool little graphics editor and of course Photoshop.
So Mac or PC, what are you favorite apps?

one essential tool I use related to C5 dev is Remo's sqlBuddy - so nice to have that right there in your dashboard when trying to trouble shoot.

I use TextWrangler for all the PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS I write. I realize that's kind of insane. I'm sure there are a lot of tools out there that do more (TW's big brother, BBEdit, for example, or Textmate, which people love, or Coda). But something about TW I can't give up.
I have tried to love Coda repeatedly but I can never add it fully to my workflow. I'm not sure why.
I use the basic OS X terminal application.
I love Transmit.
Safari as a browser most of the time, but Firefox 4 is really quite nice on the Mac (and I have to use Firebug from time to time – there's just no other way to do certain things, even with Safari/Chrome's developer tools.)
I use Photoshop but I feel like another tool might suit me better these days.
For mockups I love iMockups on the iPad.
I used to use OmniOutliner to outline feature that were coming in various versions, but now that's mostly managed in a text file or on the whiteboard in the office ;)
VMWare Fusion is pretty indispensable. IE9 on Windows is surprisingly good.

I've tried to love coda many times as well, we just don't seem to hit it off!
I've been looking at Komodo, it's pretty interesting

I love coda for html and php, but I use css edit for css.
terminal as a ssh client
chrome- though I usually have way too many windows open
cyberduck is a nice ftp
pixelmator is my image editor of choice

I primarily work on linux:
Bluefish, Gedit, Nano for text editing
Photoshop via wine for graphic work
Firefox with Firebug and Web Dev Toolbar
Virtual box with a Windows install for testing
PHP MyAdmin for SQL
Sagasu? for mass finding
Kompare for diffing
Samba
Filezilla
A ton of terminal...
I leave my mac for primarily graphics work:
Master Suite CS5
Coda, sometime Dreamweaver for text editing
Been playing with Kod a bit, the syntax highlighting is wacky though
Terminal
Skype on both for communication
Gmail...
