Bean is a killer free text editor for basic writing. http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html It has the most awesome multi-select feature where you can command-select different parts of your text (non inline) and change styles all at one time. Gone are the days of making changes one by one to inline text.

Oops, I checked out DockSpaces and then realized it's not really going to be useful to me. 80% of my work is done in Firefox or Coda. But the funny thing is it changed my dock so that it was down in the corner on the left side, rather than centered on the left like I have it. Finally figured out how to center it again. Had to drop to Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning middle; killall Dock

I've seen a lot of people suggesting TextMate. I'd probably be using it if I weren't using Coda, but the website organization of Coda is awesome. One app that lets me edit code locally, remotely, check in and out of version control, and even SSH into servers FTW.

Fluid.app has been pretty cool to use too. I have two of them configured. One for WeeWar and another for my email (Google Apps). My only complaint is that it acts kind of funky with Google Docs.

I've been using jUploadr for awhile for my Flickr uploading on multiple platforms. I've started using Lightroom though and now use the Flickr plugin for that for all my uploading needs.

Not sure what got me onto iTerm in the first place. I do know that I love the fact that the application quits when the window closes. I don't have to manually quit the application.

Quicksilver is my absolute favorite essential application. Pixelmator is a pretty good lightweight photo editing program. I love Grand Perspective for disk usage, and Ukelele if you want to modify your keyboard layout. Textmate is hotttttt for programming.

TextMate - the one, true text editor.
Fluid.app - for Site Specific Browsers (SSBs)
Anxiety - for Todos
Little Snitch - lockdown your outgoing traffic
MacFusion - easy GUI for MacFUSE filesystems.

"Oh hey, someone I like has software recommendations"
"Oh, crap, I already use all of these."

Although I have to give props to http://www.destroytoday.com , he has both my preferred twitter app and my preferred flickr app, and a design aesthetic awesome enough to make me build an icon set for the rest of my apps to match those two.
