The tools listed here are the tools I personally use for development, and other matters. I have arranged them in categories, as well as provided information (when I can) as to when I started using them.

Here are the following:

Editor / IDE

in the past

PHPStorm: I use this in 2013 only in Mac.

Sublime Text: I seldom use this in 2013 in Mac.

Geany: I use this all the time during my Linux/Unix days.

Notepad++: I use this in Windows during college days.

present

vim: I use this starting 2014 up to the present in both Linux and Mac.

Vim Plugin Manager

Vundle: is short for Vim Vundle.; why? A former colleague said, he is using pathogen, so I have decided to use an alternative.

Vim Plugins

I have a lot of installed vim plugins on my local, but I only use some of it. Some are the following:

Lokaltog’s easymotion - This provides a much simplier way to use some motions in vim.
Tpope’s fugitive - This is a git wrapper for vim.
Scrooloose’ nerdtree - I seldom use this but this provides a sidebar directory structure in vim.
Scrooloose’ syntastic - I use all the time with vim, passively. This checks code syntax of what I write when I save it. See the following screenshot:

Kien’s ctrlp - This I use all the time. This is a full path fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, ... finder for vim.
Raimondi’s delimitMate - I also use this all the time, passively. This plugin provides automatic closing of quotes, parenthesis, brackets, among others.
Godlygeek’s tabular - I use this when needed especially with tables. See vimcast.
Majutsushi’s tagbar - I seldom use this when needed. This provides a sidebar to vim for all tags in the current file, among others.
Nathanaelkane’s indent-guides - Indent guides for vim.
Tpope’s markdown - A markdown highlighter in vim.
Mattn’s emmet - A support for expanding abbreviations.

Example: type in html:5

and press Ctrl y and ,

The above will become
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
  <meta charset=UTF-8>
  <title></title>
</head>
<body>
      
</body>
</html>
```
Rstacruz’s sparkup - Similar to emmet but can do more. For examples, see here.
Valloric’s YouCompeleteMe - A code completion engine for Vim. See animated screenshot below:

Powerline - This is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awsome and Qtile.
Mattn’s gist - A vimscript in creating gists in gist.github.com. To create gist, one can just :Gist and ENTER. Then, it will return the link to your gist. This however, requires webapi for this plugin to work.

There are other plugins that I use passively. Some I have not yet explored. For complete list of plugins that I use, see my dotfiles.

Terminal

iTerm 2 - When in Mac, I use iTerm 2.
guake - When in Linux, I use guake.

Shell

ZSH - is a shell designed for interactive use.
Bourne-again shell - Bash is a Unix shell as a free software replacement for Bourne shell.
Shell plugins that I use include:

a) Junegunn’s fzf - It is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder.

When I am lost where I am with vim, I just use fzf’s plugin for vim with :FZF. This does not create vim buffer though, so as much as possible, I stick with ctrlp vim plugin.

ZSH Manager

robbyrussell’s oh-my-zsh - A community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 180+ optional plugins (rails, git, OSX, hub, capistrano, brew, ant, php, python, etc), over 120 themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
oh-my-zsh plugins that I use

a) z - jump around

b) git and other git- plugins

Mux / Multiplexer

GNU Screen - In remote servers, I use screen to manage my sessions.
tmux - In my local desktop environment, I use tmux to manager different sessions and projects.

Tmux Plugins

Powerline
Thewtex’ tmux-mem-cpu-load - CPU, RAM memory, and load monitor for use with tmux.

For my .tmux.conf file, please check my dotfiles.

Dotfiles Manager

I use rcm. It is a management suite for dotfiles. My dotfiles can be found here.

Web Browsers

Chrome - only for browsing.

There are other things that I did not mention here. I will just add into this list as time permits.
