3 Most used apps

NetNewsWire
logoMolly asks what 3 applications were the most used on your machine this year, and I thought I would pass along the question to you, dear readers.

First, I shall answer it:

  • NetNewsWire
  • Safari
  • TextWrangler
  • Since I am a big time blogger (or something) I read lots of feeds, and I am expected to both read them and then comment on them. This triumvirate of applications keeps my workflow flowin'.

    3 is so inadequate for a multitasking-friendly OS X but I'll try. I'm a web developer and most frequently I use:
    - Safari
    - Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 (mostly as a code editor and for FTP uploading)
    - AdiumX

    Next in the line are: Vienna (Feed reader), Mail, Terminal, CSSEdit, Macromedia Fireworks and Camino

    - Audion 3 (iTunes keeps having problems reconnecting to Digitally Imported Euro-Dance 96Kbps stream)
    - MPlayer OS X 2

    The boring, obvious stuff:

    Firefox
    iTunes
    Adium

    The slightly more interesting, more productive apps:

    Photoshop
    VLC
    Quicksilver (though, in all honesty, this is really first, but it's just so handy it's become more a part of me than a piece of software)

    I'm a professional Unix/Linux sysadmin who uses a mac at home.

    Top 3:
    1. Firefox
    2. iTerm
    3. SSHKeychain (always running)

    Followed by:
    Adium, Colloquium, iTunes and iSync.

    iTerm rocks for serious terminal usage. Does tabs. Very configurable.
