HoudahGeo 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Having researched all available options, this is the one that seems to suit most circumstances best. It's robust (not a whiff of any malfunction, bugs or instability), flexible (adapts to most situations - well), fully-featured (uses Google s/w and maps, loggers and logs) and very easy to use.
HoudahGeo has a simple and straightforward interface, works well with peripherals (eg a logger) and integrates perfectly with Aperture (2), for example.
It's very reasonably priced, technical support is outstanding (the developer goes to infinite lengths to answer questions and recommend solutions with great speed) and the overall look and feel of the s/w makes what could be a bit of a chore something you end up wanting to do. [alert admin]

Perfect Diet Tracker 2.3.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Perfect Diet Tracker - the best of the bunch 
Having tried the other contenders (H/F Engage and CK) I have happily settled on PDT. It's stable, well thought-out, flexible, easy to use, tracks all the most important values. Ease of use and not having to traverse numerous screens is important: the straightforward and intelligent way PDT allows you to log your food and exercise is actually an incentive. Such features as duplicating, intelligent guesses and simplicity of adding your own food etc make it a pleasure to track results. Nor does it have the more arcane values that perhaps only a doctor or specialist would want. Perfect for the every day enthusiast. Will tell you all that matters. Well priced and recommended.

Easy Card 3.3.4 (Mac OS X)
A really good blend of ease and power
It is indeed easy to use. Very. And very reliable: does all the printer placement for you, for example. Yet don't think it's under-featured or simplistic. It isn't. Its creators have managed a superb blend of features and ease of use... thoroughly recommended. Great value for money - this is the one of its type [alert admin]

ClamXav 1.1.0 (Mac OS X)
I downloaded 1.1.0 easily enough to upgrade.
When I tried to install it, it told me that Sentry was active. So I killed it and also uninstalled the engine.
Now every time I try and launch ClamXav - 1.1.0 I get what I think I remember was the splash screen; but it always hangs.
Have repeated the process. Still doesn't work.
No response from the developer - despite writing three times and trying to register (no response) on his BBS.
Feel a bit miffed since I did donate when I first got ClamXav :-( [alert admin]

EagleFiler 1.2.7 (Mac OS X)
This is the one with the most going for it
Yes, I agree: I have tried or looked very closely at all the others. EagleFiler really is the fullest, most robust and best supported. The implications of the latter are that it can only go from strength to strength and develop what is now a very special tool into a world beater. Stable, very well thought-out, easy to use, responsive developer and utterly in tune with the way many Mac users work. [alert admin]

Meander 1.6 (Mac OS X)
This looks like interesting software and I'd like to learn more. But when you click on the 'Developer's Site' link here - and, for that matter, the relevant link on their site, you are redirected to a site <http://acutustrading.com/> that seems to have nothing to do with Meander. Any idea what's happening? [alert admin]

CDpedia 4.0 (Mac OS X)
Tis really is a 'classy' application. Rock-solid, nice to look at, easy and intuitive to use - very, packed with features, yet with a highly well thought-out interface, they're offering this major upgrade free to existing users. Amazing. Well done - and thanks, Bruji! [alert admin]

Bookpedia 4.0 (Mac OS X)
This is a phenomenal piece of software!
These people really do know how to program! The new version - a pretty major upgrade, adding useful and sophisticated functionality - is actually free to existing users. On installation it seamlessly updates your data - then continues to provide the best set of features, is the most reliable (never any crashes etc. Never), and looks the most elegant of all such software. Only complaint - it's worth over twice as much! Thanks, Bruji! [alert admin]

iGTD 1.4.3 (Mac OS X)
I'll add my voice with heaps of approval: <i>iGTD</i> is elegant, stable, flexible, easy-to-use, well-supported, clean, without complications yet just as powerful as it needs to be. Definitely the one (after having done much research). [alert admin]

I tried emailing the address on the VT page and it bounces. Guess they've given up :-((

Developer has always answered my emails....
Same here, I'm afraid: various things stopped working some time ago. Have written to both addresses I have for the developer several times. Nothing.

Agreed, it's truly superb. Though when I installed this update, my list of categories was there - but no actual names/items in the right hand column. Anyone any ideas?

Administrative mode and tech support
Their tech support used to be excellent. Lately I've been unable to get anything out of them. It's an excellent product - but when it started filling up my Jumpdrive with temporary sessions, I needed to know why. Two weeks later I'm still waiting. Here's hoping they're not too swamped with well-deserved orders to attend to existing customers :-(

> CDpedia might behave very differently when the database contains 1,000 CDs instead of 10. I have thousands - and it's just as excellent!

But Chronos announced recently that in 'abandoning' forum support they were returning to free email support - via a link at the end of each KB article; I have always found their response time pretty good.
