The very first piece of non-Apple software I bought for OS X was LaunchBar back in 2005 and I haven't stopped using it since.

Magit Loved
For version control I use git on the command line and through magit, which is perhaps the greatest of all Emacs modes.
usesthis.com 2010-12-03
Aquamacs Uses
I write code and prose in Aquamacs. I've even written a few plugins ("modes") for it: textmate.el and coffee-mode.

Skitch Loved
Same thing with Skitch. Fantastic app that changed the way I work with other people.

Campfire Loved
As for work, we spend all day in Campfire by way of Propane. I don't remember life before Campfire. I'm sure it was horrible.
usesthis.com 2010-12-03
Pastebot Loved
I'm also in love with pretty much anything Tapbots does - Pastebot and Calcbot especially.
usesthis.com 2010-12-03
Simplenote Loved
Kindle, Dropbox, and Simplenote bring me great joy.

Dropbox Loved
Right now I'm obsessed with software that transparently syncs between my devices. Kindle, Dropbox, and Simplenote bring me great joy.

Reiter8 Liked
I carry my stuff in a laptop bag by Reiter8. It's water resistant, which is important because I lose every umbrella I touch.
usesthis.com 2010-12-03
Logitech MX518 Loved
I also have a Logitech MX518 mouse and it's amazing. I've used the same one for five years and it still feels futuristic. It fits my hand perfectly, has buttons exactly where I want them (mapped to whatever I want with USB Overdrive), and the precision is outrageous.

MacBook Air Liked
Boring Apple stuff, mostly: MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone 4. The Air is great because I lug it everywhere and hardly notice it.
