Ask HN: What are your essential tools you wish you had discovered sooner?
Someone recently suggested I try iTerm2, after I tried and dismissed earlier versions years ago, and now I'm wondering what else I'm missing out on.
By tools I mean anything, even physical tools, not just software, and not just for software development.

- japhyr 12y agoI finally bought a mitre saw [0], and it makes me want to build things. I built a set of rolling carts for my kid to store books and toys in, and I made him a swing last week. I think the next project will be a kid-sized picnic table. Those are small projects, but they're getting me back into the habit of building simple but useful things. I think next summer I might build a little dory [1] with my son.

Also, opening NERDTree took seconds, vimfiler opens in less than a second.
