As an editor I’m still using Homesite 4.0, I still consider it to be the most useful editor for web pages available.
Another tool I have is something called ArticleMiner, basically it gives me an easy interface to mange reprintable articles. I can search, select, upload, and a lot more with this tool. Unfortunately for you only a limited number of this product was sold and then it was withdrawn from the market.
For an image editor I use TheGimp which is a free and opensource graphics tool.
Thats probably it for the core tools loaded on my workstation, next up in the series will beĀ tools I use on my sites.
