Jim Holmes (one of the organizers of the CodeMash conference) has declared Friday, 19 January (today) to be Windows Developer Tools Day. This is in recognition of the release of his joint work with James Avery called Windows Developer Power Tools that was recently released.
Having worked with James on a book before, I know these guys put a ton of work into it (from what I see, it weighs in at about a ton, too!)
My Developer Tool of choice: TestDriven.NET
Jamie Cansdale (formerly a Microsoft MVP) has put a ton of work into this over the years to make a really cool tool that integrates everything I need to have at my fingertips when doing TDD. From MBUnit to NCover to Reflector, it's all right there in my IDE. It brings all the goodness of the tools that I use regularly and puts them in one easy to use place.
Coolest Feature: Right click->Run Test/Run All Tests/Run Test in Debugger. All without having to start up some other gui tool (and it produces the NCover results too!)
Note: The reference to CodeMash is to see Josh Holmes shave his head.
