Tools are of paramount importance in supporting software development methods, Agile ones included. In this paper, we aim to identify the most popular tools used by the Agile developers community, studying whether there are shared opinions or there are discrepancies, that could be related to cultural or geographical differences. The study is based on the DESMET approach, enhanced with some additional considerations. Results show that Agilists are well integrated and tend to use the same tools even if some regional differences exist. Moreover, they prefer well-known and established products; interestingly, planning tools are generally regarded as unsatisfactory. We list, classify, and discuss the most popular tools.
