To play my music. I actually hate most apps that start with the i.
iPhoto, iTunes both sluggish freakin resource eaters!
Sparkbox http://www.icyblaze.com/sparkbox/
Reeder http://reederapp.com/
DayOne http://dayoneapp.com/
Here's an exception on the apps starting with an i
iA Writer http://www.iawriter.com/

Reason I left windows 2,5 years ago behind is not because I'm soo in love with Mac OS but with the apps developers create for the Mac

I also like the previously mentioned TextWrangler, but sadly it is Mac only. A similar editor, but available for Linux, Windows and Mac is Editra. (http://editra.org/preview) Be sure to look at the available extensions.

Sublime Text 2 is great too and is available for Mac/Win.
Finally in full version mode btw

I just build a new Hack, which is running Mac OS X SL 10.6.8. I just wonder what version of iLife and iWork I should get.

I already install the following free software:

1- Blue Fish (editor)
2- Picasa (drawing/photo)
3- Audacity (audio)
4- Kindle

Anyhow, I would appreciate your comments and assistance to decide if I should buy iLife or iWork. I found out that amazon has iLife versions 11 and 9 whereas Apple doesn't see to sell iWork any more, but it does seem to sell its components in the App Store for about $20 each of the components. Thanks.

EasyCrop

http://www.yellowmug.com/easycrop/

Such a competent image cropping tool. Nothing else as good.

xPad

http://www.getxpad.com

Not updated for years but still works splendidly. Add notes and keep them safe. Nothing flashy. Handles images well and exports to RTF containers so easy to read elsewhere.

Wallet

http://www.acrylicapps.com/wallet/mac/

Standard and simple. Good functionality. Been using it for years. iOS too. Wifi sync.
