It helps if you actually say for which platform …

From my experience developers are terrible artists. Hire an icon designer.

In my opinion the best balance of features for money on Mac is Pixelmator.

Windows !

On Windows, AWIcons pro is my favorite. The interface looks old, but it just works very well. Better than the dozen or so others I tried when I was looking. I think they give it way with the icons they sell, although it has been at least 5 years since I purchased, so things may have changed. www.awicons.com/icon-editor/

Pixelmator is awesome image editor (including icons). It also does PSD (Photoshop documents) which makes it great when dealing with digital artists.

I am using icoFX and Axialis IconWorkshop.

icoFX has more features and is easier to use than IconWorkshop. Axialis has the advantage that it has a lot of icon libraries which are very usefull. The amount of icon libraries is expanding every two months with new icon sets. When you are a registered users, you pay only half for the icon sets.

I also think development on IconWorkshop suspended years ago, because for at least 3 years the application was never updated. Still it is a very powerfull and feature rich application. I use both icoFX and IconWorkshop depending on the project.

I use Agama Web buttons for designing my buttons in my applications. I find it easier than creating buttons from scratch, especially when they need a 3D look. I am not sure if this is relevant for you, therefore I mention this excellent application.
