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?

SharePointDevWiki.com covers this well:

Basic tools: Building a SharePoint Development environment

Then take your pick from this exhaustive list: SharePoint Development tools

My must-have items in my toolbox (some already mentioned) are:

• VMWare Player
• SharePoint Manager 2007
• Powershell
• SPWakeUp
• NotePad++
• SharePoint Inspector
• SharePoint Feature Manager
• SPDisposeCheck
• Application Pool Manager
• Beyond Compare 2
• STSADM Win
• ULS Viewer
• Imtech Fields Explorer
• Imtech List Generator
• Firefox and Firebug
• Stramit CamlViewer 2007
• CAML Intellisense

SharePoint Manager is updated for 2010, but the 2007 release is still available. It's a great tool for browsing the innards of a SharePoint site hierarchy.

On MOSS 2007 several people I respect use WSPBuilder and swear by it. For hard-core dev work you may find DbgView invaluable. Finally, a solid diff/merge tool like WinMerge often comes in handy. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I think STSDEV was a great tool and grants more fine-grained control over the WSP creation process than the Visual Studio Extensions. I admit that I gave up on the VSeWSS tools early on, so they might be awesome now, but using STSDEV has been a breeze to integrate into the build process. Also, since the source is available, it's easy to fix or extend on a whim!

I'd say IronPython is an invaluable tool for experiments with the SharePoint object model and short scripting tasks - of course, unless you already use Powershell.
