What Apps Do You Use? The Designer's Toolkit

BestVendor, a website that helps people find appropriate work apps based on recommendations from their peers, just released their newest findings. After surveying 180 designers and creative professionals, they compiled their findings in this easy to read graphic. If we took a guess based on our own Core77 habits, it came as no surprise that Google Docs, Drop Box and Adobe Photoshop come in at the top of the list. We like their "Hidden Gems" section that reveals some emerging applications like GimmeBar (grab and store media in a single place to sync to Dropbox), WhatTheFont (for font-spotting) and LookWork (an RSS for visuals).

What tools aid you in a productive workday and why? Leave a comment.

Without including what the designers have tried and gave up on, there's little weight to the recommendations.

I'd prefer to know what invoicing software is liked by 180 accountants and what's the cloud storage software of choice for network engineers. At best, I'll get group think from a graph like this, not a new perspective.

Anyone who take a close look at the result knows the survey result, although beautifully presented, is totally garbage, or misleading at best by using a too generic word "designer".
