Screenflow I like this for video capture and editing (QuickTime works well for capture but lacks some of the editing features.Textwrangler I'll use this instead of Eclipse or Textmate if I need to open very large files.Textmate I can't quite explain why, but I usually come back to Textmate for very quick editing, either code or plain text.I really like the team plugins (SVN and Git) Eclipse Yep, I love it for just about all the coding I do: Java, XML, PHP, Javascript, Ruby, Python, etc.I've also just now installed Lightning for calendars and I really like how it's integrated into my mail screen Thunderbird I've actually just shifted back to TBird from Apple Mail – I like the UI of Mail, but the lack of good shortcuts drives me insane (you can set keyboard shortcuts in system preference for individual apps, but I find them flaky).I mostly use Firebug and Zotero for extensions (plus a couple more) I also still prefer Firefox's location bar and its suggestions, and I also find Firefox on the whole more customizable. I've also ported by profile between machines so many times that I'm very comfortable that I won't lose things (whereas the profile situation for Chrome on Mac is much less clear to me) – I think both Firefox and Chrome are moving to synchronized profiles, so that may be less of an issue in the future. Firefox I know a lot of people complain that it's slow, but I actually haven't found that, maybe because I have a ton of RAM (that's not to say that Javascript intensive sites run as fast as they do in Chrome, but for the vast majority of sites I don't see a difference).Here are a few of applications I use most often with some very subjective commentary: This question was initially motivated by my continued flirting with Linux (and a desire to bootstrap my knowledge of useful stuff), but I'd suggest the net be cast across platforms. A bit of voyeurism on this Sunday evening: there's no shortage of opinions on best applications out there (and often has great suggestions), but I'm curious what my DH colleagues and friends commonly use as apps.
