I love how the two people on PC felt the need to qualify why they are on PC. LOL  I love my PC and my droid!!

 @Brian Wallace I guess it's peer pressure; Macs are predominant at the web design meetups I attend, and are heavily featured on the web shows and podcasts I subscribe to. It's almost accepted that web professionals use Macs. I actually like Windows 7; it does everything I need in a PC OS. Like you, I have an Android phone, and it works well too.

Dustin, that was my favorite episode to date.  I'm excited to start trying all the new tools I learned about, especially inkscape, google tasks, hexadecimal color finder and the Pomodoro method.  Keep up the great work!  BTW, what are the "pts" next to the commenters' names?

 @QuietCuisine I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, I had a lot of fun recording it! The numbers next to your name represent how many likes you've received on comments. You automatically get 5 for signing up with LiveFyre. That's why I like almost everyone's comment :)

Wow Dustin, you have been one busy guy getting this episode up this week - packed full of helpful information. Thanks for chatting with me.  Great idea for a podcast. It's amazing how many tools there are available to us as web developers/project managers.  It was fun to hear what everyone else is using.  Can't wait to hear about what you use in a future episode.

I really liked the interview format of this episode. It's great to learn what tools and processes others use in their web design/dev businesses.

@dhartzler10 @JoshuaWRivers @warnerchad Both. Most of mine are "primitive" compared to some mentioned on the show, but it may help others that are just starting.

Like @CascadeVDesign, I use Dreamweaver but mostly because it has the only acceptable FTP engine of any Web development tool. I love, and even bought, Coda 2 (for Mac), but I can’t use it because its FTP engine is too primitive. If someone else makes changes to files that I need to sync up, Coda 2 can’t figure out which files someone else changed. DW handles it easily. Shame, because I love everything else about Coda 2 better.
