I don't have room on my desk for a third monitor, but my setup is pretty close.

Its the extra screen to google the answers out of the online manual and debug your
work that really help. Now all I really need is a machine that will allow me to stop
time, work 16 hours in front of my computer and still have the rest of the day left
to do all those other things I need to do. I've tried sleep deprivation, but my
girlfriend isn't too keen on it, and after a while I go from grokking to being groggy :-)

But I agree, good tools make life easy (assuming you know how to use them) and can
occasionally reduce the learning curve, but if you can't program without them, then
that's the difference between "going through the motions" and "truly grokking" :-)
