Aquamacs Emacs 1.0b (Mac OS X)
I was absolutely shocked not to find a flood of overwhelmingly positive reviews for Aquamacs. For anyone wanting to use emacs to write code on OS X, this is absolutely the emacs to use - it's a no-brainer. It _almost_ has the look-and-feel of a full-on Mac application - the only thing that differs is a little vestigial X-windows behavior (options (eg. fonts) are easier to set than with other emacs, but still don't fit in a standard "Preferences" window). There's a little bit of a learning curve, all because of "will this behave like emacs or like a Mac app?" issues, like whether preferences are stored in ~/.emacs or in ~/Library/Preferences. The last thing I want to have marring my beautiful OS X Aqua interface are applications that look like X-windows (or "hybrid"-looking applications). This thing is really pretty! [alert admin]

Dossier 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
In short, I don't go it a day without Dossier. I use it for keeping a journal for work, noting what I've done each day for each project I'm working on. I wanted something for which I could view or search everything cronologically, or else by project. Also, the ability to paste in pictures/plots/etc. was essential. Dossier more than fills this role, with additional features like smart folders which are also helpful. Since I'm writing every day and often pasting pictures, there's quite a lot of stored information. Despite this, Dossier launches quickly and without problems. Support is also exceptional! A couple strange behaviors slipped in with the upgrade from 1.? to 2.0, which I emailed the developer about. Each time, the email was acknowledged almost immediately and fixed within a couple hours. Version 2.0.1 contains all the fixes, and I haven't been able to find anything wrong with it. Truly great stuff, I recommend it highly! [alert admin]
