i just use paint.net for icons like i do for all my graphics.
icon editors are a nice thing to have but all the free ones ive ever downloaded only ever do 32x32 pixel icons and i generally need to make favicons which are 16x16. when i found out that there was a paint.net plugin for icons and cursors i just got that and it works fine! |

Greenfish Icon Editor exports big icons very well
I'm also use Paint.net, but while creating icon with many formats (16x16, 32x32, 48x48...), I prefer GIEditor to Paint.net |

I use any app I want. All an icon is, is a raster image (bitmap) with a .ico extension.

I've never really used an icon editor that I liked. They are usually just neutered versions of more full fledged programs and of the ones I've seen they have usually just been hoping to use trialware to hook you then get you to pay out for the full version, which would rarely be worth it seeing as there are high quality freeware capable of much more.
Even if its freeware, just use paint haha |

I do it the dodgy way and make my images in adobe fireworks, save them as a png file and then use png2ico (which is a command line application which converts png files to ico files) to make my icons. You can specify all the options on size and quality though the command line and it outputs your icons!
