Howdy!

I just wanted to see if we could throw together a list of the greatest native cocoa applications available.

To start it off, here are a few that qualify to the best of my knowledge:

1. Adium - chat
2. Bean - word processor
3. Camino - web browser (sorta cocoa)
4. Coda - web development
5. Seashore - basic image editor
6. Smultron - text editor
7. Transmission - torrent

Please correct me and/or suggest others, thank you!

:D
 
Camino isn't 100% cocoa as it's a cocoa wrapper around gecko - depends on how pendantic you wanna be, I guess ;)

I'd add to the list:

PixelMator - low-price Photoshop wannabe
Vector Designer - low-price Illustrator wannabe
TextMate - text editor
CSSEdit - does what it says on the tin ;)
Nisus Writer Pro - candidate for best WP on the platform
Omniweb - web browser
Omnigraffle - charting/diagramming
Pathfinder - file manager

If you have Coda in there, you should also have Transmit on the list :D

Others that should be in there as well:

NetNewsWire
AppZapper
TextMate
SubEthaEdit
OmniOutliner

The apps I mentioned are ones I have used for years and consider the best of the best as far as Cocoa apps go (as well as Adium, Transmission, and Coda) :)
