Text Editor

• Notepad++ – Preferred as of now.  Function List plugin recommended to browse functions.
• PSPad – recently has been giving me problems with undo/copy/paste

SVN Client

• RapidSVN – Small, lightweight, agile.  Not as robust as others, but gets the job done and it’s quickness far outweighs any shortcomings.  WinMerge recommended for browsing differences.

SSH/SFTP/SCP

• PuTTY – The best SSH client.  Recommend the Windows installer.
• WinSCP – Easily copy files between the preferred SFTP protocol.  Open, edit, and save changes on the fly.

MySQL

• MySQL Workbench – Good for a simple query, but powerful enough to manage entire databases.  Grant user permissions, view statistics, and more.  Somewhat sluggish.

VNC/Remote Administration

• UltraVNC – Robust VNC and a great “helpdesk” package creator to distribute to family and friends.  They call the helpdesk creator “Single Click” (signle click documentation, creator).
• TightVNC – Secure, frequently updated VNC client and server.

Miscellaneous Hacky Stuff

• ResEdit – Resource editor and extractor.
