    Just curious. Coffee table discussion. Not intended to start a flame war. If you don't have one, that's fine too. Marc

      I have just started using NAnt and WiX to do builds. They are easy to use and have plenty of documentation and examples. Hogan

        Wow, that's pretty broad. The GIMP is probably my all-time favorite open-source app - before there was a usable Windows build, i would keep at least one Linux install around just for that app. Of course, in terms of time spent, i use Firefox more than just about any other app, open-source or otherwise. There are all sorts of good libraries - i'm having fun with ZedGraph right now - but i'm not sure what i'd put down as my favorite.

            Boost[^]. A set of generic libraries - not a framework that makes the design decisions for me. Portable, lean, fast, easy to use.

                Well, the only one I've ever really used is NUnit, so I guess that's the winner for me. Then again, I'm a big fan of my WPF.JoshSmith library. :)

                  ToDoList. It's how I keep track of my daily/weekly/quarterly/annual accomplishments, so when review time rolls around, it's easy for me to demonstrate how much I kick ass the value I add to the company. ;)

                                      +1 for The GIMP. I use the Windows version at home and at work, and it's not without its annoying glitches, but I've gotten better and better at using it. I have zero training as a graphic artist, but feel like I can churn out some pretty cool stuff now. I never would have gotten into it with something I would have to pay for like Photoshop.
