iStat pro 3.0b1 (Mac OS X)
Still doesn't work on HFS-X file systems
The widget is STILL broken on the HFS-X file system. It's not that hard to respect case in your paths. I sent the developer a a patched version of 2.0 with everything fixed, and he didn't respond, nor did he post it. I don't know what his problem is. [alert admin]

Epson TWAIN & Scan Utility Intel 2.77A (Mac OS X)
My Perfection 1250 has been broken ever since I installed Tiger. These drivers don't work at all. I'm not sure what Epson is trying to pull here, but I'm never buying one of their scanners again. [alert admin]

Virtue 0.52r114 (Mac OS X)
By far the best. Has a ton of great features, and it's completely free. Definitely recommend. I'm so glad it works on Tiger now. Desktop Manager has been flaky. [alert admin]

iStat pro 2.21 (Mac OS X)
iStat Pro will not work properly on HFS Case-Sensitive volumes. The developer did not use the proper cases in some of his paths. I even e-mailed him a modified version in which I fixed these paths a few weeks ago, and this version still does not work correctly with HFS-X. I seriously gave him the code and detailed the fixes. It's a 5 minute job to fix it, and it's good programming practice to use proper case anyway. I don't know what the hold-up is, but he really needs to get on the ball with this. I'm sick of having to keep patching every version I download. [alert admin]

SubEthaEdit 2.3 (Mac OS X)
Guess it's not free for non-commercial use anymore
It'd be nice if they could've mentioned that it's no longer free for non-commercial use. I'll be sticking with 2.2 from now on, I guess. $35 for a text editor is a little steep for my tastes. [alert admin]

TV Tracker 2.0b (Mac OS X)
The author responded to my bug report very quickly and gave me a new version that works for HFS-X volumes. The new version works very well. The widescreen is nice, the layout is simple and clean and best of all, I don't have to go to TV Guide's abysmal site to get listings. I was also very impressed with the simplicity of the initial setup. Kudos to the author. [alert admin]

TV Tracker 2.0b (Mac OS X)
I used the old version and liked it. This one appears in my Dashboard dock, but I can't drag it into the Dashboard or activate it with a double-click. The author got lazy and didn't respect case in the paths in his HTML. This causes problems for people like me who use HFS-X, which is case-sensitive. I'm giving it 1 star until he fixes this oversight. [alert admin]

VISE X 2.0 (Mac OS X)
The happiest day of my life ... 
... was when we convinced my university to let us drop VISE for our Mac software package. In truth, VISE has a lot of really great features, and it can create very flexible installers, but even those cannot save it from the absolutely puke-inducing interface for the installer creator and the bugs that riddled the software when I used it. The VISE installer creator is a prime example of what happens when developers do a lazy Carbon port. It simply has way too many roots in Classic, and that results in a lot of confusing installation rules. You actually have to COPY AND PASTE a Unix shell script into a tiny little window to add that capability, for Christ's sake. You can't just select a text file. Whenever a developer uses a VISE installer, that's automatically a strike against his product, in my opinion. If you've designed your product so poorly that you need to use VISE instead of Installer.app or drag-n-drop to get it installed properly, that's a sign of an application which will give you problems down the road.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? I sent the guy a fixed up version with a detailed explanation of the changes I made. Why write my own when something already out there requires only trivial fixes?

WHY NOT Continue to Support 10.2 and 10.3.x!!??
Because not everyone has an old Mac sitting around to test their software on. These are the realities of software development, and this is a free product. Your problem seems to be more with Apple and Jobs rather than the developer of this software. Go complain to them.
