A lot of the things I use for development are already mentioned so far so I'll mention something specific to Windows 10. While I wish I could use Linux for work I do quite like it as an OS, but it does have a lot of trackers and this thing called Cortana that tries to be a voice assistant like Apple's Siri. If you're not paying attention you'll click OK on the thing that allows it to record you while you're working (really) and it's very hard to figure out what to do to stop it from doing that. There is a tool called ShutUp10 [0] which disables this crapware with some helpful registry tweaks. It's not OSS though so do use caution and be sure you're getting it from a reputable source. You might also be happy to know that you can right-click and remove all the rubbish from the start menu and just have something that resembles older Windows start menus. Finally, my favourite console is cmder [1] which is a tabbed console with hot keys and integrates with PuTTY if you need to connect to Linux boxes.
