#12 - What apps do you use?
Eric Smith - Mind Architecture - Zend Studio as an IDE for PHP
PHPMyAdmin front end for MySQL
Firefox - especially the Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug add-ons FileZilla FTP program
Notepad++
I like the code completion features of Zend Studio - saves trips to php.net to look up the parameter order for PHP functions. PHPMyAdmin makes it much easier to create and update database schema. The Firefox add-ons help troubleshoot css, cookie, and similar errors on web pages and provide good error diagnostics for Javascript code. FileZilla is quick and easy FTP and
Notepad++ is useful for quick html changes that don’t involve any scripting.
Basically, I like applications that do one thing and do it well.
David Johnson - Davidj.org - For some time now, I have settled into a few programs that totally fit my needs. The first is Putty. I use it to ssh to the web server. Once there, I use vi to update text or mysql.
For graphics, I have used Irfanview for years. However, for additional graphic manipulations, I have been running The Gimp on Windows.
For FTP, I use Filezilla. It supports sftp and keeps solid connections.
For debugging, Firefox is the ultimate. The extensions I can’t live without are FireBug, Web Developer (Edit CSS) and Page Info (though not an extension).
Of course, my current position puts me to work in Visual Studio 2005, but it would have taken way too long to come up with something I like about it. 
John Dowling - iSite Design - I primarily use Dreamweaver 8 & MX and Flash 8 for development and Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS and Fireworks 8 for design, layout and image optimization. Also misc. applications I use is Microsoft Word for page content and copy, Fetch for ftp client, WebDumber for stripping websites of a server, of course I am on a Mac so these are all for the OSX platform. As for what I like about them, I think they are easy to use and have the reputation and functionality needed to produce final pieces or projects.
