Most Used App of the Year
OF ALL THE APPS ON YOUR COMPUTERS, which three did you use the most this year? Here are mine:
- Entourage (and Webmail)
- Adium (and Trillian)
- Firefox
Most of my time is apparently spent in email, on IM, or browsing.
How ’bout you?

I would say off the top of my head:
BBEdit
Firefox
Mail.app
December 28th, 2005 at 12:40 pm
Mine are:
Terminal.app
Firefox.app
AdiumX.app
Question: Why Trillian? Isn’t AdiumX enough for IM-ing?
Cheers,

I’m wishing I could have one texteditor (that I like) that works on all platforms.
I appreciate having Firefox and Thunderbird for all three albeit Firefox on the mac is a little sluggish compared to Camino or Safari.

TextMate is quite amazing as a text editor, Firefox is the most usable of the Mac web browsers for development and iTunes because I can’t work without some cool Jazz playing

h3. Terminal
The Finder is dead to me. But it’s Zombie corpse still lumbers around my screen. Until the new Leopard finder replaces it, that is
TextMate with FreeTDS installed effectively replaces Aqua Data Studio 99% or the time now.
I cannot begin to describe the joy of a unix terminal in a lickable os.
FireFox is hip with extras, but I can’t get away from the beauty of Safari, it just _feels_ so nice.

Most of the time is spent on the PC, so:
* Firefox
* iTunes
* Microsoft Word (many a project write up this year…)
On the Mac:
* AdiumX
* Camino
* iCal
I’ve excluded a couple there: If I included Gmail I’d need to include Wordpress and then suddenly, 3 because too few express anything like the way I use computers. I also left out Quicksilver on the Mac, since whilst I use it to launch pretty much every single application I use, it’s just a stepping stone (but what an awesome, gem encrusted stone it is).
Happy New Year, Molly et al.

I can’t imagine trying to do any development on any platform without Emacs. I keep an instance open in each virtual desktop on the Linux box, and of course, one instance on ‘doze. Do cvs, the cli, and MySQL count if you do it from Emacs? Nah? Didn’t think so.
OK, next is Firefox followed by The GIMP and whichever mail client I’m playing with—at the moment, Thunderbird, but I really like Agent.
