It also integrates with SVN and CVS, and has integrated database management. Personally I consider some type of revision control system an absolute necessity for any kind of development, and GUI database tools save me a lot of time and pain. Eclipse can be a pain in the ass to set up at first (mainly finding and installing all the right plugins), so if you don't want to deal with that headache, take a look at Aptana: http://aptana.com/. It's a self contained Eclipse based web development IDE, that's got basically everything you need right out of the box. FREE, and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It's interesting hearing what the most important apps in other's toolkits are. There are some great ones out there. It was hard not mentioning many others but these are truly the five that I could do nearly my entire job with. @Sean - Thanks for pointing that out, it was an oversight to leave that unmentioned. Post updated to reflect this. @Rob - Have not tried Nvu but glad to hear about it and will have to take a peek! Thanks for your comments guys.
