Essential freeware (or inexpensive) apps for Programming and Graphics

[Haly]

Just wondering what various free or cheap applications people use specifically for web development, programming and graphics related things. Might make a useful thread as every other day we have someone ask what to use instead of Notepad or what FTP Client etc.

Personally, I use this little lot for various things:

FireFTP - FTP Client for Firefox

Bloodshed Dev C++ - Free C++ IDE

Colourificator - Great tool if you want to know the colour code for a colour you like

Crimson Editor - Free Text Editor with Syntax Highlighting for HTML, CSS and PHP amongst other languages.

Irfanview - Free image editor with loads of plug ins available for it.

Just a reminder, I meant tools specific to this part of the forums. Not stuff that's just useful for the regular user of PCs as that would be of more use in the Windows part of the forums
But thanks for the suggestions so far.

Would be a good idea to make a list and sticky it (it one doesnt exist already).

That's what I was thinking of

damn you, for all we know 'Haly' potentially could have believed me.

I wasn't born yesterday and the fact your reply was 11 minutes after I first posted proved it didn't take you 10hrs to compile besides the fact it did look quite obviously cut and pasted

Thanks all for the additional suggestions
