Must have tool set for MOSS 2007 development

I'm trying to compile a list of Must have tools/extensions for developing MOSS 2007 to build a dev machine. The dev os is Window 2008 R2 64 bit.

  1. MOSS 2007
  2. Visual Studio 2008
  3. Sharepoint Designer
  4. WSS/Office Server SDK
  5. Visual Studio 2008 Extensions for WSS 3.0

Is there any additional required/nice to have tools?
