#12This list was worth it just for liveReload, this one is really a time saver. Thx.

#13Does anyone know if there is an alternative to LiveReload on Windows?
Just use the ReloadEvery addon for Firefox or a Chrome equivalent.
It lets you set the interval at which you want the page to reload. I usually have the browser open in my second monitor, auto-reloading every 3 seconds. Works great.

#14These tools all work in different ways, but I would love if someone could write an app store for these (and others) to live in so we could one-click install and one-click uninstall dev tools locally. I'd definitely pay for that manager app, and it'd be way easier to give micro-donations to open source tools we use a lot.
I think Ender seems to fit the bill pretty well. Being a package manager for JS[1], it allows you to download and manage dependencies for each project. A bit like PEAR or CPAN or NPM or whatever, with some client side stuff to manage those dependencies in the browser. That's what I got from a quick scan, anyway.
These things are trivial to use for even the most inexperienced CLI user, mind, so something like this would likely do well for you.
I like the idea of it so I'm going to float it at work and see what people think.

#15Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) is really helpful. I am already using it in 3-4 of my projects and my friends are starting using it too.

I have been using 960.gs and I had rolled some of my own css styles for text and other formatting, but Bootstrap has already taken care of all of that, and it looks great. There are example layouts included as well.

#17Google Chrome deserves an honorable mention here. I just found out yesterday that chrome's built-in debugger has stack traces. I've been debugging for years with firefox/firebug and forgot how helpful it is to actually know where the source of your bug is.

#18Misleading title, this is just a cool list of cool tools, most of which aren't particularly oriented productivity (anymore than any tool is). IMO productivity tools are ones that help you do your existing task in essentially the same way but faster.

The original title is a much better description: "Useful Coding Tools and JavaScript Libraries For Web Developers"
Re: Awesome web development productivity tools
#20A nice list, but I can't be the only person here that is trying to speed up my page-load time and reduce the number of development tools that I depend on. Which would make a smaller shortlist?

Most people like to speed up their page-load time, but reducing the number of tools you rely on seems a strange thing to do (unless it is some kind of enforce-artificial-constraints thing).
A good craftsperson knows their tools well, and knows which tool to use where. Reducing the number of tools seems artificially limiting.
