![]() Smultron:¬ Smultron is a FREE open source (sourceforge) programming text editor for the Mac that I’ve found myself using regularly¬ It has all the basic functions of a good text editor plus support for different languages.¬ I like it for it’s simplicity.¬ There again you can focus on the text and not the software.ĬSSEdit :¬ If you need to create or maintain CSS files then this is the best tool I know of with a great GUI that makes editing CSS a pleasure.¬ I use it regularly and would not want to be without it. It opens Microsoft Word and WordPerfect files and uses RTF as it’s native file format which can be read by almost any word processor.¬ It also has a full screen mode to get rid of all distractions while you write.¬ They have also just released a “Pro” version if you require more. Nisus Writer Express:¬ I’ve found Nisus Writer Express to be a very capable and easy to use writing tool.¬ It’s not got all the bells and whistles of Microsoft Word but I’ve found that when using Nisus Writer Express I tend to focus more on the writing and less on the software.¬ That’s not to say that it’s not feature rich, because it is. Note: Some of these tools are free and some of them were purchased over the three year period. I’ve broken these selected applications down into functional categories and have linked each application to it home site. For instance I have a copy of Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac that I use on occasion.¬ Most often it used when I’m dealing with someone on a Windows PC and want to maintain compatibility or if I need a spreadsheet I will use Excel.¬ There’s also applications like the Apple iLife Suite that came with my Mac as well as Apple Mail and Safari. During this period I’ve collected certain Mac applications and tools that I use regularly.¬ I thought it might be interesting to share what I’ve found useful and hopefully get some input on what you’ve found.¬ Perhaps we’ll see some gems we’ve been missing. I don’t even own a PC that runs Windows now. I switch to Mac’s over three years ago and haven’t looked back.
