- jggube, on 11/27/2008, -0/+6Web Developer tool really helps, it's a great way to debug and understand your web page's design.
- MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1So long as you don't blindly take scripts and code from someone else...there shouldn't be very much on your web page that you DON'T understand...
...unless I misread your comment.

- Engine24, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2Yeah thats a good one.
- diggtochina, on 11/27/2008, -2/+19notepad++ is all i need
- Daniel591992, on 11/27/2008, -12/+5You design in Notepad? Boy, I wish I was as cool as you!
- melonhedd, on 11/27/2008, -2/+8Look how stupid you are.
- regularsteven, on 11/28/2008, -1/+4yeah man, i'm with you. the only people I know who use notepad++ 'exclusively' are too fricken stubborn to learn to work with the benefits of a good quality IDE. usually core programming types, the ones that are anal about what they do, have no real social life, count bloody frame rates on games, and compare bitrates of their music libraries, are those types. have I upset anyone?
- EnigmaXII, on 11/27/2008, -1/+4Amen to that!
I used to use PhpED for its offline debugger, but now Notepad++ has everything I could ask for,

......man I wish there was something like tortoise for Mac or Linux- stubcn75, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0Have you tried Versions on the Mac. I have not tried it yet but someone told me it was pretty good ( for first version anyway )
http://www.versionsapp.com/
For me ... i love Coda.

- andrewtheart, on 11/27/2008, -2/+3Notepad++ is good for certain development scenarios. Using it all the time would probably be a waste of time and efficiency though (GUI web development like Kompozer makes life a LOT easier)
- nmnnotmyname, on 11/28/2008, -1/+2For me: Kate + The GIMP
I love Kate because of the builtin terminal - I really love that for developing C / GNU Make based applications but it can be helpful in any case of multifile editing too (And you need that if you're making a template/PHP software or using external CSS - which is almost always on both counts). It's all around a good editor and it even runs on Windows now with KDE4 for Windows. All kinds of awesome...
I used Notepad++ too, which was nice, but it always reopened files and didn't have the neat document list like Kate. I suppose the first thing is my own laziness but I didn't feel like trying to fix what wasn't broken. - mato2000, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0Vim and GIMP is all I need.
- Daniel591992, on 11/27/2008, -12/+5You design in Notepad? Boy, I wish I was as cool as you!
- MScrip, on 11/27/2008, -3/+25This article needs all the apps in a list. Burying links in paragraphs isn't the best way to present information.
- Flashman, on 11/28/2008, -2/+7"Boo hoo hoo, I'm too busy (lazy) to read."
- MScrip, on 11/28/2008, -0/+4Really? 13 people agreed with me!
13-2 - MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -1/+1@MScript:
People agreeing with you is not the same as you being right.
You know who else was agreed with a lot...Hitler.

- Rockkybox, on 11/27/2008, -2/+5I didn't know a thing about web design until I started work in my uncles company 2 months ago, I was thrown into the deep end, told to create a new company site from scratch on my first day, cheers for these tools, the site testing ones will come in very handy
- MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Being thrown in the "deep end," or actually having a project or specific task to complete, is the best way to learn something new, IMHO.
You can spend 3 weeks going through O'Reily books and online documentation...or just dive right in on a project. The end result will be the same anyway, but at the end of the project, you've actually got something that you made and it works.

- palin2012, on 11/27/2008, -18/+1I hate the applefags that are going around calling everything "apps" now. Some of them are utilities, some of them are software and some of them are games. None of them are "apps".
- EnigmaXII, on 11/27/2008, -2/+3I Love Vista yet for some reason I buried you silly little boy.
- MrOmniscient, on 11/27/2008, -1/+12Yeah, actually they are all "apps". It is short for applications. It is nothing Apple specific.
If you educate yourself before making asinine comments, you will be much less likely to look like a moron in the future... oh, wait... didn't notice your user name... I suppose that ship has already sailed.
(BTW - I do realize that when you educate yourself first that your comments are unlikely to be asinine... I just wanted to emphasize how asinine your comment was.) - zforrester, on 11/27/2008, -4/+3Thank you, MrOmniscient, for taking the high road, and expressing the facts in a clear, concise way. I applaud you for it, and the world would benefit if everyone was as rational as you.
I'm gonna take the low road here, and call palin2012 a retarded, ball licking, ***** eating butt *****. What a ***** *****.
- damian7, on 11/27/2008, -0/+11I hate tech radar's design. Four pages of sidebar material. Maybe they should try using some of these web design apps...
- DirtyDiggDog, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1Couldn't agree more. It's ugly as the bottom of my hairy dog balls.
- EnigmaXII, on 11/27/2008, -3/+3What about
PhpMyAdmin
SimpleMachineForums SMF (PhpBB is so insecure, admins can change a users email to their own and email themselves their users passwords... safe eh?)
WordPress = Kickass SEO- renatoc8, on 11/28/2008, -1/+3Those aren't tools, and WordPress?..... I don't think there is a worse designed app in this world...
- phpld, on 11/27/2008, -1/+5Still waiting for the free version of gas and rent.
- soulpatch, on 11/27/2008, -3/+4lord god.. more "Esssential" titles. well at least cracked doesn't have 3 posts on the homepage. you guys are tools, and the corporations are turning you all into cattle.
- Zeigy, on 11/28/2008, -1/+2Buried for word with a triple "s".
- soulpatch, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1copy/pasted from the article itself dong-ding. but nice try.
- Zeigy, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1Oops, that should have been a new comment. Sorry.
- Zeigy, on 11/28/2008, -1/+2Buried for word with a triple "s".
- electronicdream, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3It seems every other day there is a "best tools for web use" list that pops up.
FCS, we get it! We don't need 50 lists to tell us all the same thing....- Raithlin, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2We need a "Top 50 lists about top 50 tools" list...
- MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2And then a Top 10 list of those.
- Raithlin, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2We need a "Top 50 lists about top 50 tools" list...
- absentmindedjwc, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4I dont exactly use all free things, but I love my setup, it seems to get things done
Paid:
Coda - covers FTP and code development
Photoshop
Free:
Apache with PHP and MySQL
PHPFunction Index (for when php.net is not available, like when I am on a plane or something)
Frameworks (if that counts...)
CakePHP / CodeIgniter (switch between the two depending on the job)
Prototype / UIZE (same as above, switch depending on job)- MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1I'd say the majority of things I use are not free, now that I think about it.
Coda, TextMate, CSSEdit, Navicat, VMWare Fusion (for testing), Mamp Pro, Linkinus (best Mac IRC app ever), Photoshop, Fireworks.
I guess the only free stuff I use are the languages and libraries ;(
- MtheoryX, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1I'd say the majority of things I use are not free, now that I think about it.
- egamipeaks, on 11/27/2008, -1/+7I friggin hate Joomla
- absentmindedjwc, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3any reasons why?
There are better ones out there, sure... but Joomla is probably the best you can get for free... - lolwaffle, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Template creation seems so counter-intuitive and impossible to just jump right in, even for an 8 year web development veteran like me. It should be as simple as putting php snippets to insert this or that into an existing layout like every other template system ever created in the world, but it's not. Hey, let's make them list every file in an XML file! Yay! And let's have multiple template tutorials on the site/wiki/etc that contradict each other, with none explaining the whole picture, yay!
- absentmindedjwc, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3any reasons why?
- tomjowitt, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3Fedora, Eclipse, JQuery, Zend Framework, MySQL tools, Wordpress and Magento.
That's the recipie for success. - davideparker, on 11/27/2008, -6/+1Spellling on the innnernet. It's reallly not that haaard.
- damien1989, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3too many lists, too many lists, too many lists ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *Clunk*
- CrushThemTorg, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2I thought Prototype was shunned by the orthodoxy because it's too big for a floppy disk.
- Olfster, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1What is a floppy disk?
- rdvon, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Joomla?
- Zeigy, on 11/28/2008, -1/+2Buried for word with a triple "s".
- ScotchInBox, on 11/28/2008, -0/+5Pretty good list but no Drupal...?
- verlierer, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Exactly what I was about to say. Score: Drupal 37 Joomla NULL
- mellenger, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Paid:
Textmate for everything
Transmit for ftp
VMware Fusion
Photoshop
Free:
Drupal - does everything
JQuery destroys all competitiors
Virtual Appliances LAMP
google for code completion :) - gann, on 11/28/2008, -2/+5nvu
