Manages windows (including dialogs, controls, and the whole deal), threads, processes, and can subclass anything and list the messages it's getting!

[/list=a]

[Wokawidget]

Notepad

[Bombdrop]

a great free editor is Source Edit (http://www.sourceedit.com.)

[agmorgan]

Crimson Editor/ (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/) is the bees knees

[Jmacp]

Code Fixer.

[Danial]

My list was quite long until I upgraded to .net, One of the Great thing about VS.Net IDE is that, it brings everything togther, you very rarely need to leave the IDE. I love the in-built Server Explorer where you can do absolutely anything that you can do in SQL Server Enterprise manager.

Enough of .Net advertisement :). Apart from that I use TextPad, Axialis Icon Workshop, Photoshop CS for graphics editing, and finally Google!. The only documentation you ever need(Saves me from installing Gigs worth of MSDN, and funnily enough google is faster then my local MSDN search :)
