I can't put into words how much I love aptitude. I cringe now whenever I have to install software on a Windows machine.

SDCC has at least some support for PIC18s as targets. That said, it doesn't like the C18-specific extensions in the code for the old control system.

My contributions:
-> Eclipse can be a bit daunting, but it's really useful, if only because it, through plugins, supports more languages and development tools than you can shake a stick at.
-> GNU find is amazing. If you're unlucky enough to be tied to Windows, install Cygwin right now even if it's just to run find.
