    gimp.app - http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ - has now got an "experimental" native mode (so no X11). Even though it's experimental, I've not had any problems with it.

    Anyway, on my dock I have (from left to right):-

    Mail
    Safari
    Terminal
    Calendar
    TextEdit
    JollysFastVNC (better than ChickenOfTheVNC IMO)
    Eclipse
    iTunes
    iPhoto
    Garageband
    Audacity
    SoundSoap
    Word
    Azureus

    So I have a mixture of work and music apps there as that's what I spend most of my time doing.

    I haven't found any problems with it, though I have not used it extensively, only to edit the Business Card Composer Watermark out of the exported images (as it's a trial of BCC I'm using)

    I've never got MacTheRipper to work properly for me.

    Used to use Parallels but decided to take it off upon discovery of apps like Merlin (replacing MS Project). Currently looking at OmniGraffle for replacing Visio.

    1. DiskWarrior (Just in case...)
    2. FileSalvage (Again, just in case...)
    3. SuperDuper! (So I don't need the above two)
    4. Eclipse (IDE)
    5. Transmit (FTP client)
    6. Charles (HTTP debugging proxy)
    7. NetNewsWire (Feed reader)
    8. Parallels Desktop (Virtualisation, mainly for running Windows apps like Visual Studio, although I have a few different Linux distro VMs as well)
    9. Oxygen XML Editor and XSLT debugger (wot it sez, although I tend to work with the Eclipse plugin - you get it all on one license)
    10. MySQL Tools (DB stuff)
    11. AudioHijackPro (for ripping audio streams on a per-application basis)
    12. Firefox (testing)
    13. Opera (testing)
    14. Chicken of the VNC (Remote desktop stuff)
    15. Google Earth (wot it sez)
    16. Adium (Chat client)
    17. NeoOffice (used once in a blue moon - I don't really do office documents...)
    I'm sure once Xeno sees this you'll get some more geek points

    1. MindManager - great mind mapping tool
    2. Merlin - prob the best PM tool / project scheduling tool
    3. Business Card Composer - does what it says on the tin, and does it exceptionally well
    4. NeoOffice (I predict) - handles MS Office files currently better than MS Office 2008
    5. Bento - user friendly, no hassle database for well, anything you want. I use it to track projects, export risk, issues etc.
    6. VLC - for watching movies etc.
    7. UnRAR X - for handling RAR files


    Anyone else?
Working...
