   Hi,
   
   I have almost the same list as you, but prefer another text editor. When I started maintaining my own webs I started using (Resource no longer exists), and I still like it a lot.
   
   A must have for me is Xampp. I don´t always use it but there's times where it comes in very handy, especially for testing important modifications to my forum.
   
   I use the documentation on php.net quite often.
   
   Another very handy tool is Google. It helped me out countless times when I was stuck with something.
   
   Greetings.

   Hi
   
   There are some tools that I really would not want to miss when I
   work on a new website or my current projects.
   
   My most favorite tools are:

   
   
   • Mozilla Firefox Browser - for me personally the best browser there is
   • Firebug - the single most important tool for working with HTML and CSS
   • ColorZilla - A very neat color picker
   • MeasureIt - Lets you measure things on a website
   • YSlow - Tips to improving the performance of your websites after analysis
   • PageSpeed - Tips to improving the performance of your websites (requires Firebug)
   • W3C Validator - only valid HTML is good HTML
   • UltraEdit - my personal favorite text editor for programming

   What are the tools you would not want to miss for developing your web projects?

   Why not use Firefox for web development?
   
   I never used another browser but who says you can't use one for surfing (like Chrome) and one for developing your websites?

   I also use Firefox with Colorzilla. That's the best browser for sure (not maybe fastest but best)
   
   I also use alexa bar for firefox, it's not %100 accurate but again a nice tool to evelauate a site.
   
   And my other fav tools are Paint and Photoshop :)

   I'm using the exact same tools :) Instead of UltraEdit I'm using Notepad++.

   Without Firebug, I can't imagine how many page refreshes I have to do to see what effect my CSS changes have!
   
   For PHP dev, I make use of NuSphere. After using this, I can't believe I was making use of Dreamweaver!
