This Merges all awesome tools (Beside Editor Stuff) from the follwoing document:
2797dc644a/docs/docsite/rst/community/other_tools_and_programs.rst

Lots of Things where omitted, some where already on the List, and three Items where ultimately added to the List!

- added [php-ansible](https://github.com/maschmann/php-ansible) - I personally dont work with php, but I see how this would be awesome for anyone wanting to interface with Ansible via PHP.
- added [TD4A](https://github.com/cidrblock/td4a) - neat little Tool, for working with Jinja2 Templates.
- added [Ansible Playbook Grapher](https://github.com/haidaraM/ansible-playbook-grapher) - Command line tool to create a graph representing your Ansible playbook plays, tasks and roles.
- omitted [opstools-ansible](https://github.com/centos-opstools/opstools-ansible) - Not Maintained anymore, to Old.
- omitted [nanvault](https://github.com/marcobellaccini/nanvault) - I think this tool does not add enough value to be deemed awesome, all it's functionality can be realized with ansible-vault.
- omitted [ansigenome](https://github.com/dr1s/ansigenome) - Looks cool, is no longer maintained though.
- omitted [ansible-shell](https://github.com/dominis/ansible-shell) - As of Ansible 2.1 merged into ansible itself, no longer maintained!
- omitted [ansible-silo](https://github.com/groupon/ansible-silo) - Essentially Ansible in a container Image, cool but Not actively maintained!
- omitted [ansible-inventory-grapher](https://github.com/willthames/ansible-inventory-grapher) - Neat Idea, sadly outdated and not actively maintained.
- omitted [Ansible Language Server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ansible/ansible-language-server) - Omitted, because it will be added in the pr #59.
- ommited [Ansible Review](https://github.com/willthames/ansible-review) - Sadly not actively maintained.
