I’ve started building a list of applications that fill me with joy.
- LaunchBar – can’t imagine life without it.
- xScope – I don’t even use it that much, but when I do… so awesome.
- Pukka – I’ve been using Delicious as a central data store more of late.
These aren’t all “must-have” apps, nor are they the ones I use most (if it were, BBEdit would be at or near the top). These are apps that meet or exceed my expectations every time I use them; and never give me the “if only it would…” thoughts. I think the common thread on these is that my usage of these apps is not as deep as the functionality each app provides.
What’s on your list?
Launchbar would be on my list too

It’s not perfect, but I’ll put in a vote for Firebug (it’s sort of an app, right?) as it saves me loads of time.
I am using Launchbar too.
I’m a QuickSilver user, so that’s definitely on the list. I can’t stand to use a computer without it or some equivalent.
xScope is another. It’s pricey, but worth it.
TextMate… I’ve tried BBEdit, but I just can’t get past the great tab triggers and interface niceness in TM.
