Windows (7 at least) can natively map ftp (and most likely sftp too, haven't tried though) servers as network drives.

[URL="http://ideone.com/"]Ideone[/URL] - Ideone is an online compiler and debugging tool which allows you to compile source code and execute it online in more than 60 programming languages.

I was surprised that only codepad was mentioned as an online compiler while this one is much better.

FTP on Windows Explorer was supported as far back as Windows 2000, if not even older.

Just tried on Win2000. The network drive mapping wizard redirects to the Add a network place one. They aren't shown under My Computer as network drives, but as folders in My Network Places. It's practically the same and you can navigate and select stuff from explorer anyways.

Nope, Windows doesn't do SFTP.

Right. As I said, I've never tried it. Only done regular ftp.

Paint.NET

How honestly comparable are Gimp and Paint.net to Photoshop?
I've been using photoshop for so long that I don't know if I could switch.

It's the little things that are different (you can't really stray too far from PS in terms of general look and feel when making an image editor), but there are lots of those.
And functionality isn't even in the same ballpark (though GIMP is a lot closer than Paint.NET).

[SteppuFIN]

Well, photoshop is expensive, so those are alternatives if you dont want to buy ps.

Anything ever:
[URL="http://atom.io"]Atom[/URL] as an IDE / Text Editor with: color-picker, pigments.

It's great for web design and Atom is generally just a great text editor. It also supports OS X and Linux, so hey, OSes that Garry thinks that less than 7 people use.

No idea how you all failed to mention it.. but when it comes to PHP, my love goes to [URL="https://netbeans.org/"][B]NetBeans[/B][/URL]

Atom seems like it has great potential, and I really like the idea of it. It's rough transitioning to anything from vim though, even with Atom's vim plugins.
