- Web Developer 1.1.6 : http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
Very powerfull tool for web devs, but be carefull, it really slows you down. Don't activate it until you need to work with it.
Finally, i'd like to recommend Total Commander 7.04a : http://www.ghisler.com/index.htm
It's a shareware (US$ 38) but it's really the best filemanager created since Magellan (AmigaOS... :D :D :D :D ). Many plugins exist and it also has a good community. Just try it, and you'll adopt it. ;)
I hope these tools will help you all.
