Elements Liked
Elements on the iPhone is in many ways better than any of the word processors I've used on the Mac or PC.

Xcode Liked
For coding I use Flash Builder and XCode, both of which do what I need them to do.

Nikon D90 Loved
I have a Nikon D90 camera which I love, but I feel less compelled to lug it around since I got the new iPhone with its competent camera.

iPhone 4S Loved
I love my iPhone 4S even more than I love my Mac, and as a frequent traveler it has completely changed my life.

BetterSnapTool Uses
but I do use Dropbox and BetterSnapTool and iStat Pro to add functions that I really wish were built in to the system.

Chrome Liked
After years of Firefox loyalism, I ditched it to find a browser that would actually remember passwords when I want it to, and eventually settled on the excellent Chrome over Safari.

Cocos2D Liked
I use Flixel and NAPE to make web games, and I use Cocos2D and Box2D to make iPhone games, and in both cases I can just implement my ideas without worrying about the boring, arcane aspects of programming.

Blender Disliked
I would like to use 3D software in my toolchain, but I've tried just about everything and every piece of software is either too sadistic (Blender), too expensive (Maya) or too powerless (SketchUp).
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Aperture Mixed on
I bought Apple's Aperture for photo editing, which is nice to use until it insists on using 6GB of RAM just to copy photos from an SD card, even if your system only has 1GB free.
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
VMware Fusion Disliked
For testing things in windows I use VMWare Fusion, which is just as hacky and broken as Parallels.
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Audacity Disliked
For making games, I'm using Audacity for editing sounds, which somehow manages to be less usable than Sound Forge was ten years ago.
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Keynote Mixed on
Keynote is better than Powerpoint, and you can control it nicely with an iPhone, but both Keynote and Powerpoint are too basic for my needs
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Endnote Disliked
For collecting and citing references, I've used Endnote the most, which is almost as bloated and broken as Word
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Word Disliked
For writing philosophy, I have to use Word for collaborating with other philosophers, but I hate it with great passion
usesthis.com 2012-08-10
Etymotic hf3 Uses
I do almost everything I do on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro and Etymotic hf3 earphones.
