Here is my list of MUST HAVE programs as a designer/programmer
Macromedia Dreamweaver (not in designer view lol)
Macromedia Flash
Araxis Merge (great for code comparison)
Antechinus JavaScript (a great javascrpt editor)
Topstyle (great for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets))
FileZilla (or any decent ftp client)
All Internet Browsers ( Mainly IE, Firefox, Opera)
Photoshop
Illustrator
And of course the most important a great media player with lots of tunes with lots of coffee, sugar and creamer at your side to keep yourself going…
Know of a great program for me to check out, leave me a comment
I am intersted in Illustrator…..Have Photoshop, but never really knew what Illustrator could do that Photoshop can’t….Great List though! I am totally going to peak at some of those programs!

Illustrator is good for logo design / line art (vector format)
For a media player I’d have to say iTunes, imo far better than wmp for music anyway. Never used the online iTunes stuff but for my mp3 collection its great.
A free program that is somewhat similar to dreamweaver is called PSPad, I’d highly recommend it for anyone who balks at the price of dreamweaver (it’s also handy for keeping a second ftp server open for on the fly edits while working with DW).
Good list.
