Arrow A web designers arsenal

Out of curiousity, if YOU are a web designer, what is the complete collection of programs YOU use?
This is what I'd imagine:

Photoshop CS3
Dreamweaver CS3
Flash CS3
Illustrator CS3
and...COUGH...Windows Paint (I find it convenient to use now and then...)


What do you use?

WinSCP/CoreFTP (CoreFTP for any place I dont have SSH access)

Pitty Adobe prices are a bit higher than Macromedia. I got Studio 8 for just over €100 (Student Edition). Now its not even realistic to invest in CS3.

Question for the professional designers using Dreamweaver... do you actually use the WYSIWYG aspect of the software as your primary method of constructing websites?

If so, why so? ...don't know the code / just find it easier or faster / simply used to it / ??

Not trying to be smart, but I'm just curious to know where a WYSIWYG editor fits into a professional "web designers arsenal". A little surprised to see so many people mention it.

Speaking for myself, No have never used the WYSIWYG view, always code everything by hand.
