SharePoint Manager is a SharePoint object model explorer. It enables you to browse every site on the local farm and view every property. It also enables you to change the properties (at your own risk). This is a very powerfull tool for developers that like to know what the SharePoint holds of secrets.

I've found .NET Reflector (now from RedGate) to be an indispensable tool when developing, and with SharePoint in particular. In some cases it has saved me from spinning wheels when it is clearly a "bug" or "feature" in the SP codebase, but it most cases it has just been invaluable from a learning perspective (oh, that's how that works!)

Firebug! Useful in so many ways:
Editing HTML and CSS in-browser and on the fly
Ability to see which CSS rules are active and work with the box model
JavaScript console and debugging support (excellent for jQuery)
Net tab for seeing server requests and download performance

Microsoft Live Mesh is a great tool to handle all your other tools. I've set up a folder that I have all my tools in and then use Live Mesh to have these tools synchronized into my VM's and other machines. As soon as I add or update a tool, they are all "copied" to my other machines.

A simple PowerShell script would do it. There's a MasterUrl and CustomMasterUrl property on the SPWeb object, so you could just do something simple like Get-SPSite | Get-SPWeb | % {"Site: " + $_.Url + " Master: "+ $_.MasterUrl} to list out the master for every web.

} else {
return "My Default";
}
}
set {_TextBox1 = value;}
}
string _TextBoxl;

I've been trying the SEO IIS Extension from Microsoft and WinHTTrack, although my results are rather limited as we use Forms Based Authentication and neither of them do well with the pages under authentication. That's where I really want to be able to do some reporting, but the options look to be limited. Maybe I'll try my hand at hacking the CodePlex ...

Not a de-dup tool as such but a script that will allow you to get an inventory output to another source that you can query/filter to find duplicates:

I've used this and found it reasonably handy. A developer could probably take ...

I used Kivati on a global WCM roll-out. I also showed it in a talk at the European SharePoint Best Practices Conference. It's a cool tool - "repeater" concept is good for rolling out updates across large farms. However at the end of the day, it's just generating API code for you - and considering there's a learning curve and a SharePoint developer could just ...
