Jeff Key's lightweight .Net code utility Snippet Compiler really is as great as everyone says. I've been hearing about it for a couple weeks (I think) but I only downloaded and ran it yesterday for the first time. I can see this being the main tool for some people who want a fast, easy tool to pump out some code. You could probably start this program, write and compile a very simple C# System.Console executable in less time than it would take to open VS.Net 2003 and start a new project.
If you work with .Net code or want to play with it, I highly recommend this as an addition to your Utility Belt.
