My Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Mac OS X (2011 Edition)
A decent starter list, but definitely not complete (for me at least). I'd add the following<p>* TotalFinder (makes the OS X finder not terrible anymore, tabs, etc)<p>* HandsOff/LittleSnitch (oh, you're just using the built-in firewall? that's cute.)<p>* Transmit (everything you could ever want in an FTP app)<p>* CommandQ (W and Q are way too close together)<p>* Mou (free alternative to Byword)<p>* Evernote (note-taking that syncs absolutely everywhere)<p>* Alfred (modern day Quicksilver)<p>* Growl (notify me of all the things!)<p>* AppCleaner (good for finding the random left-behind files)<p>* ClipMenu (clipboard history and saved text snippets all in one)<p>* f.lux (less eyestrain for marathon coding sessions)<p>* GasMask (easy hosts file changing)<p>* GrabBox (automatically saves screenshots to my DropBox public folder and copies the URL to my clipboard? YES PLEASE. replaces the need for CloudApp, etc.)<p>* Sublime Text 2 (cross-platform and modern TextMate/BBEdit/Vim all rolled into one amazing editor)<p>* SourceTree (good and free Git/hg front-end)<p>* Witch (finally a better Cmd-Tab)<p>* Moom (window tiling and profiles galore)<p>* Hyperdock (dock previews and drag-to-edge window resizing)<p>* Prey (stolen goods tracking)<p>* Textual (IRC)<p>* Adium (chats)<p>In terms of my actual command-line environment:<p>* iTerm2<p>* Homebrew<p>* (way too many individual commands to list here)<p>Also Chrome/FF extensions can get you some really great paid native app replacements, like RestConsole (no more need for Http Clients).
