Really Great Apps

[Stiganator]

Are there any other apps that match the quality of Quicksilver, Montage, or Delicious Library?

Please be more specific with your question. Are you looking for alternatives to them that are the same quality? Or are you instead looking for other apps, that do other things, that are also well made?

 

[Stiganator]

Other apps that are high quality and do whatever.

I hear Coda is good for web coding. i tried the trial but im not sure about it. I wish I knew what the best web coding app was. Transmission is a good Torrent app. Cyberduck = good FTP. Growl of course. World of Warcraft 😛

I'm not a big coda fan. I find textmate to be way better then coda. Coda is nice, but nowhere near as powerful as textmate imho.

Never could get used to Textmate... it just feels too busy somehow. Coda I like.
Transmission
Handbrake
Adium
OmniGraffle
SubEthaEdit
XSlimmer
Burn
The Unarchiver

The list goes on.

Why does everyone use Adium? It seems to be cool and feature rich but looks / acts too much like a Windows app.

I really love how sleek iChat is and how simplistic it is with the video and screen sharing features.

I just don't like the feel of iChat, I love the feel of adium. Plus iChat doesn't support all the networks my friends still use.

I love iChat, but everyone that I know in my Office uses Jabber, and when I send links to them it double posts the links.. so I stopped using it. It was just super annoying.

Transmit
Billings
CSS Edit
TextMate
CocoaMySQL
KeePassX
Mail
Parallels
xSlimmer



I have mail set up for all the RSS, and email stuffs, which is nice with the Smart Box features.
Then the TextMate + Trasmit combo, I got CSS Edit, but I didn't need to, firebug works great.
KeePassX is great for keeping all the client data together and securely at that.
CocoaMySQL is more a more stable MySQL GUI
Parallels is nice to test for IE
Billings ROCKS for time tracking. It's a bit expensive, but it's seriously worth it.
xSlimmer is great for freeing up space.

I like that I can make the Adium window take up a minimum amount of space, and that I can have all of my chats in one window with tabs. Plus the color customization, Growl integration, multi-client capabilities and frankly... it is what I am used to at this point. When I got my Mac iChat was pretty meh, so I got Adium for MSN... and just haven't switched back.
