As a web developer, I tried Coda...it was ok, but lacking in several key areas. So, for me, the user experience was a C+/B- at best...

Neil: just kidding. Since Leopard isn't officially out yet, you can't expect programs that require it to be out yet, either.

how does a program win for being an alpha? (delicious library?) seems silly.

Do we have a link/screenshots for Delicious Library or iBank?

I'm not sure why being a biomedical scientist gives you better perspective than non-biomedical scientists like myself.

Perhaps because the PubMed database is the only online database supported by Papers, someone in your field has more reason to appreciate it.

I'll admit it certainly has improved alot since the prerelease versions, but it's not there yet.

I was delighted to see Papers in the awards. It's hard to appreciate this application unless you work in the biomedical science area, but it's a powerful solution to a very specialised problem - and given the size of the biomedical research community, there's a big market out there.
While this is only version 1, it already has very powerful capabilities.
