Programmer tools

Via Ned Batchelder, Scott Hanselman has an extensive list of programmer tools.

A lot of the stuff there applies only to .NET and so don't apply to me yet, but some of the neat stuff includes BgInfo and AutoRuns from Sysinternals (with AutoRuns I found that DeadAIM loads a DLL on startup (evil) so I uninstalled DeadAIM), DxRuler, ZoomIn, and Highlight, a useful-looking tool that will create marked-up versions of source code for you. In the past I've considered setting up Scintilla or SciTE in some kind of batch mode to do this.

re: "A lot of the stuff there applies only to .NET and so don't apply to me yet"

I use c#/.NET professionally at work and what i have to tell about it is just the same as about php: looks good at first but too much annoyances. although in .NET most annoyances are related to visual studio or the windows platorm (that, and the xml namespaces are quite buggy

.NET looks quite promising but is a PITA in the end
