I always has this dilemma when I'm about to choose a tool to get the job done. Is that the better? I'm I loosing my time with this tool when there is another that does the job one hundred time better?

And then, came "the list" from Scott Hanselman. It's a very complete one evaluated by someone who has experience with them. A lot of tools I'm using right now come directly from that list and has influenced my productivity a lot. For example :

SlickRun
Windows Live Writer
FireBug
TestDriven.NET
Colibri
Skype
Acronis
7-Zip
etc.

I highly encourage you to check "the list" and don't hesitate to try some of them. You could easily find one that will stick around for a while.
