He sounds interested to me. To be fair nobody needs 8-10 tools for regexes alone. Except maybe Jeffrey Friedl. Recommending one or two would be plenty.

- shanselman 15y agoAgreed, at some point with some categories I admit in the post that I'm just collecting and reviewing tools, RegEx ones are a good example, for fun. Other times two or three tools exist because there is a specific gap in one filled by another.
- sjs 15y agoIt's a nice, comprehensive list. If you (or anyone else) feels inclined it'd be nice to have a heavily biased list of tools that in your opinion are the cream of the crop. A honed version of this bigger list.
- shanselman 15y agoIndeed a good idea. Every quarter or so I do lists of Top 3 this and the Esssential 5 that, pulled from this list.
- mattmanser 15y agoI was being a bit tongue in cheek! If you're a windows dev, if you've not got much time just scan through and look at the green items, the new additions. It's nice, for example, to see Scott mention 7zip and curl, which I now use on windows too. It kinda makes you feel a little less of a traitor. Bins looks great and I also forgot about Console2 too, stupid cmd window not resizing.
