Top Ten Most Beautiful Mac OS X Applications

Top ten lists are all the rage recently and Phillip Ryu gives us a unique one--the top ten most beautiful applications for Mac OS X. He's got a nice write-up and I agree with most of his choices.

10. Transmission
9. Voice Candy
8. Podcast Maker
7. Transmit
6. Quinn
5. AppZapper
4. Acquisition
3. Coverflow
2. Newsfire
1. Delicious Library

I would add to his list RapidWeaver and Comic Life, both programs that have impressed me with their ease-of-use and well-designed user interfaces. What apps would you add in your own top ten list of most beautiful Mac OS X applications?

Hey: Simon has halted distribution of Quinn, the Tetris game in this Top Ten list . According to Simon's website, the legal counsel for the Tetris company issued a cease and desist letter. Fancy that. I was able to get a copy of Quinn earlier in the week and it really is the best Tetris game for the Mac. I hope they can settle the dispute and continue to distribute Quinn. It's a great piece of OS/X work.

just tried delicious library - i love the isight feature! this is great and it even works with my imacs built-in isight.

garage sale is a very useful app, too. not to forget vlc, which looks a lot nicer in the latest version.

I would add Netflix Freak, the recently released Postino RSS reader (from which I'm posting this comment now), Growl (duh!), and Camino (iffy -- but ultimately another duh!).

Bits on Wheels! I love the graphical representation of file bits uploading and downloading. My fav Torrent client and most stable.
