Ask HN: What's your Windows {web} development software set-up?

I just bought a new laptop recently and am in the process of setting it up for development on the go.

I just saw the MacOS thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1618817) and I figured I'd ask the HN on what everyone's favored setup is, web development or otherwise. I've been using a Macbook for the past 2+ years that just gave away and I decided that Windows 7 was a good reason to move back to the windows platform, not to mention the $$$ i saved on a better specced machine.

Currently, I have:

Notepad++ (IDE) FileZilla (FTP) Microsoft Office Chrome + Firefox with Firebug Dropbox (To sync files across machines) Paint.NET (For minor image manipulation) Launchy (Application Launcher)

I was on the lookout for some more software that'd make my life easier. -- Is there a good replacement for OmniGraffle Pro? -- Also, what's the best tool for Screenshots (preferabbly a tool that auto-uploads to the web for easy sharing) like Skitch or Cloud App. -- A good lightweight to-do list like SimpleTask

Thanks.
