I thought I would start this topic and everyone could post what their favorite tools for game development are. Asset converters, level editors, modelers, IDEs, script compilers, whatever. I'll start with mine first.

Blender
3D World Studio
Photoshop Elements
Visual Studio
Batch files for build automation
NVidia texture tools

What about any type of tool? Like an in house tool that does something really cool?

* Maya for art
* Gimp for textures (along with a Wacom Bamboo )
* Vim for IDE
* CMake build scripts
* Cruise Control build automation

I also have home made tools to convert data files into header files, pak up shaders and models. At work we have makefiles along side a custom build tool for all the assets.
