I use a Subversion client for the Mac called Versions. It's an excellent repository browser and it contains a great timeline view that lets me have a quick overview of recent activity.

You can't have a list of development tools without a shout out to Eclipse. The early eclipse days were ugly, but the work of the community has yielded a very powerful, multi-language IDE. :)

I agree with eclipse, i also use notepad++ as my text editor. As for my favorite development tool, ta daa I give you.. Dreamweaver, for its SPRY funtionlity. I can run any rss, opml or xml feed in the same fashion as an ADO table or SQL trigger exec command. Also it easy to apply CSS formatting or DIV assignment. The GUI is helpful, but you do get better control over code itself with/out realtime wysiwyg. If you are new to DW, and you are editing someone else s website, be sure to turn off the automatic tag fix options in preferences, otherwise you can overwrite code that is not yours.

I am a java developer. my development tools: Eclipse for front end and PLSQL Developer for Backend Oracle. Both the tools are very nice to develop good web application. I really feel that eclipse is a ide which will support all technologies like struts,,hibernate, spring, gwt, etc... What to say, Its really Rocking... Cheers, Santhosh

Another post for Eclipse. It's especially promising in the embedded development arena. It may do the same thing to the embedded IDE market as it did to the Java IDE market. I have been investigating NetBeans IDE since it started supporting C/C++ development. Also very promising, but I think Eclipse has got the momentum ...
