[Mac] The Mac Software Thread (Free and Alternative Stuff)

I was planning to purchase some of this software but with another transition in the horizon (now to the Pentium processor), it seems not be a good investment. Does anybody knows if any of those specific applications, such as Crystal Ball, will include free upgrades?

Crystal Ball has had pretty much zero updates in the past several months, as far as I can tell, so the switch to Pentium probably won't matter much as it seems the whole program is dead.

Just wanted to add that TextWrangler is a free text editor by the same folks who do BBEdit, here's the download link. I don't know how it compares to BBEdit, as I'm not going to pay $200 to find out, but I used it to make my website (see my .sig).
 



BBEdit now does (or at least I've just discovered it) vertical text selection (Referred to as Rectangular Text selection)!!!!

This is the one indispensible feature of a text editor I use at work. COOL!
 

Word on TextWrangler. Dimwhit, I summoun thee to add it to the initial post!

Oh, and VoodooPad added "Categories" to its feature set. You can now define categories and add pages to them. SUPER COOL. That was the missing feature for me, and now it's there and all I am is happy.

Yeah, yeah, I'm here! :)

Change made. TextWrangler is great. No need to worry about upgrading my BBEdit.

Of course, now I'm torn. Do I use TextWrangler or Smultron?
 

Slight correction up there: both OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner are $39 apps by default, with Pro versions that cost $69 with more features.

Done. Thanks for the clarification. I had a hard time tracking down one of the prices.
 

Hmm, i've been having some issues getting StatBlockPaster to work. There doesn't seem to be any actual widget file in the download, just a sit file that unstuffs into a folder. I've tried renaming both of those files with the wdgt extension and then putting it into the widgets folder, but that hasn't worked.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
