What form of utilities would you find useful for OS dev?

now I know I'm saying "'x' does that!" but anyway...

for OS deving, Codeblocks really is the best IDE I've seen. It can use many different kinds of compilers, has support for C and ASM highlighting(and more) and supports custom makefiles... it even supports custom configurable tools, so you CAN run bochs to test your OS and all that... all without leaving that window. Also, you can make your own templates, so you could make an OS template... (I actually think I tried doing that once, but quit due to boredom)

anyway... just thought I'd throw that out there...

only bad thing of it is portability... it's not ported to tons of things like vim and emacs, so you'll have to build from source if it's not linux or windows... but it uses WxWindows, so it's easy to port...

so... yea... lol...

s/WxWindows/WxWidgets

I've been using Nedit a lot lately, but when I'm working with configuration files etc, I use vi.. not vim.
