I am new to Magento Development ( CE 1.6 ) and am still trying to define my workflow. I currently develop on Mac OSX 10.8 with Netbeans 7.3, but I find that Netbeans is slow and freezes on me. I tend to switch over to Sublime Text 2 to do quick viewing/editing of files, or I'll just pull up Vim sometimes for convenience.

My questions:

1. "What does a modern Magento 1.X workflow look like?"
2. "What tools/configurations/plugins are best suited for Magento Development?"

I know that this is a subjective thing, and there isn't going to be 'one workflow to rule them all', but I also believe that all of you certified/experienced developers would have some common choices. At the very least, I would expect some battle tested knowledge.

I would appreciate any input/feedback/suggestions.
