I used the following free tools to develop my theme.

* GIMP – Free image editing software
* Cooltext online tool to create buttons and logo
* Notepad to edit css, php files
* W3C validator for XHTML and CSS validator
* Firebug add-on to inspect and modify stylesheets
* Browsershots – online service to check older browser compatibility
* YSlow addon for Firebug to test the page download speed
* SubmitExpress metatag analyzer to check the meta tags

Worth noting that if you enjoy your foray into Wordpress theme construction money spent on a really good editor is money well spent. My personal favourite for Mac is Coda for HTML/PHP and CSSEdit for CSS, and for PC, Notepad++ (free!) and I actually use the new Expression Web, stripped of all the rubbish toolbars for my CSS.

Thanks for the information regarding the wordpress tool you have shared here. Its been really useful and effective.
