What software do you use ?

[chrisburton]

I tried Fireworks on a friends computer; certainly wasn’t a fan of it.

On Windows 7 (don’t hate)
– Photoshop CS5 Extended
– Illustrator CS5
– Filezilla (FTP)
– Sublime Text 2
– other miscellaneous resources

I’m have a very similar setup to @ChristopherBurton except that I use Transmit for FTP (Mac only). Also, I do most of my web design in the browser, not in Photoshop or Fireworks (unless otherwise required). It allows me to experiment a lot more, and get a feel for how the design will behave in a responsive environment.

As an aside, I am looking into using this too (Mac only, for now): http://livereload.com/

So what’s sublime? Also, does anyone use Skitch? If so, what do you use it for?

[chrisburton]

Sublime is a text editor mainly used for development. http://www.sublimetext.com but download from this URL http://www.sublimetext.com/2

@districtweb I use Skitch for screenshots that I want to easily annotate. It’s pretty handy!

if you do alot in wordpress and some php or even a little php then hands down Phpstorm is simply an amazing peace of software. All I can say it almost reads your mind as you work. I am mac and pc user. I use textmate and coda…and I still get sucked back into Phpstorm…again amazing!

Doesn’t anyone use Illustrator?

[davidlab.be]

@ChristopherBurton i use illustrator for mostly the logo portion or more technical artwork and then move it along to PS or FW.

To further what @springlab said, I don’t use Illustrator on a day to day basis because I’m not doing logo work, etc.

On a window XP and windows 7:
– Vim for coding (and sometimes inType)
– Chrome Dev. Channel as main browser (because the very very very good Webkit Web Inspector)
– Mozilla, Opera, IEtester, IE9, Aurora, Chrome Canary and Safari for testing
– Filezilla for ftp
– Wamp2 as localhost
– Visual Studio CSharp Express for C# programming
– Git as version controll system and github for sharing
