All of a sudden it occurs to me that two people can be called 'programmer' and do radically different things. Surely the typical programmer's toolbox is: an editor, a compiler/interpreter/magic lisp box/whatever, and possibly a debugger.

Don't forget a version control system.
similar to my toolbox, as an embedded engineer, the number of compilers that I have on my computer is about 8 installation for various different micros, along with this is the same number of debuggers.
