The Mac editor I love to hate. BBEdit has been around forever, does nearly everything despite a creaking, aging interface. It’s the one text editor I cannot throw away despite both opportunity and attempts. As BareBones Software puts it, “It doesn’t suck.” Much.
An intelligent interface provides easy access to BBEdit’s best-of-class features, including grep pattern matching, search and replace across multiple files (even unopened files on remote servers), project definition tools, function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, code folding, FTP and SFTP open and save, AppleScript, Mac OS X Unix scripting support, text and code completion, and of course a complete set of robust HTML tools.
9wR - BBEdit: Aging text editor does everything for coders, web developers.
Major update for a different kind of screen capture utility for Mac users (Leopard and Snow Leopard). Records the whole screen and a video camera at the same time. From Telestream, the same folks who produce Flip4Mac, VideoCue, WireCast and other very good applications.
Using a unique new screen capture system, powerful enough to capture the contents of your entire desktop at the same time as your video camera, microphone and computer’s audio, it’s simple to create beautiful screencasts.
9WR - ScreenFlow: Screen capture with edit, export, compression, mouse highlights, motions.
Excellent tool for obsessive compulsive cleaning of Mac OS X caches and other files. Works on Mac utilities and applications, too, from Adium to iChat, Firefox to QuickTime and a few torrent utilities, too. Cover your tracks.
In only seconds, it can perform over fifty tasks which would take nearly an hour to perform manually. Safely erasing caches, logs, cookies, histories, and more… MacCleanse won’t miss a thing and could reclaim hundreds of megabytes of storage space.
9WR - MacCleanse: Windex for Mac caches, logs, cookies, files which clutter.
Essential utility to play Windows Media Video in Safari via plugin and System Preference Pane. Pro version available for money.

The Windows Media Components for QuickTime have been highly optimized and support playback of Windows Media HD.

The Swiss Army Knife of graphic utilities. Something of a poor man’s Photoshop but the claim to fame is batch conversion of file formats and a tool for everything. Cumbersome and cluttered interface but it works.
GraphicConverter is an all-purpose image editing program that can import 200 different graphic-based formats, edit the image, and export it out of 80 file available file formats. The high-end editing tools are perfect for graphic manipulation as well as the ability to use Photoshop-compatible plug-ins. It offers batch-conversion capabilities, a slide show window, and so much more.
