Macheist bundle 2008

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

The only app from MacHeist I've started using much, so far, is 1password.

Already owning Photoshop and Illustrator makes Pixlemator and VectorDesigner a bit redundant, but I still want to learn my way around them.

Also used AppZapper to get rid of a trenched in 3rd party system preference pane.

SnapsProX is going to be nice when I have to make video screen captures (which I probably need for a couple of work projects quite soon).

CSSedit could come in handy, all though I use Coda most of the time.

Cha-Ching and iStopMotion are also on the "want to look closer on these"-list, though I have no idea if I'm ever really gonna need them.

I've tried the games one time each... might play some more... especially the mini golf.

The bonus apps also seemed nice, tried LaunchBar for a while but have reverted back to QuickSilver, for now, and NoteBook looks very exiting, and I just have to figure out how best to use it.

I don't think I'll ever have a need for Speed Download, CoverSutra, Awaken or TaskPaper, though... I'd change any of those for something useful, like MenuCalendarClock, Transmit (which I already own) or Yojimbo, but you cannot please all the people all the time, as the wise man sang...

All in all: I'm happy with the bundle. Well worth the $45 I paid.

Oh, I forgot to add that I use the bonus app, Launchbar. Quicksilver would crash on me on a weekly basis. So far Launchbar has been running fine and it does pretty much everything Quicksilver did for me.

Have you tried Fugu? I've switched from Transmit to Fugu myself.

Cyberduck is also nice, and free

Nope... I'm a big Panic fan and went from CyberDuck to Transmit and through that I found (and got a rebate on) Coda, my main work environment at the moment (after I upload the initial files in - you guessed it - Transmit)...

And since Coda is driven by the same engine as Transmit, and - even more important - can import Transmit favourites, I'm sticking to Transmit**...

** Even though that has been one of more than a few applications that seem to suffer a bit under 10.5.1... We definitively need a working 10.5.2... now...
