CodeSniffer is a PEAR package that checks PHP code for violations of coding standards. According to the developers:
It is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent. It can also help prevent some common semantic errors made by developers.

HeadSpace 3.6.21 has just been released and is in preparation for the upcoming WordPress 2.8, fixing several issues with tagging.

Note that bbPress functionality is experimental. It works on the support forum here, running bbPress 1.0 alpha 6. Your mileage may of course vary.
