If you need to sync Address Book with an LDAP server, this is the tool to do it. Well documented, and a responsive developer.

This is one amazing app. If you blog on a Mac, you'll want to give it a try.

Too complicated. It can't handle code. Ends up cluttering oen database with slow, difficult to handle code, especially for pictures.... also the picture uploading feature doesn't work. I've basically just about stoppped using it....

It's a great app, and the Universal one is muuuuuch faster.

Yes, it makes nasty HTML code, but I use Textile so meh.

Well, I don't like Textile either, it produces some pretty weird coding too. If anyone has anything better to suggest I would definitely be interested.

I saw a reccomendation on this app and thought I would give it a try. In the middle of working on a new blog post, the damn thing crashed on me. Lost the entire entry. Major suckage. I'm going back to other tools.

I use ecto to manage half a dozen different sites (all Wordpress driven), and it works beautifully. The only problems I've ever had were related to timing out when sending a post with several images as thumbnails, but creating a new entry quickly solved that issue.
Highly recommended!

Don't like it. I have it registered, but I don't use it anymore. I have switched to TextMate with its lovely blogging bundle. Ecto's html editor is a crap. No chance to embed things like JS or stuff. Don't register, guys!

Plenty of AppleScript goodness. Responsive developer. Worthwhile addition to your web-browsing workflow.

Right now my top request for this app would be an "Open selected items in browser tab" command, with a preference to warn if attempting to open over an N item limit.

The best solution I've found if you're like me and use del.icio.us only for storing bookmarks. A desktop app allows for more features - better searching, smart folders. I'd like to see a better way to browse tags but other features make it easy to find bookmarks. Worth the dough if it becomes part of your workflow (hey that's a good rap)

Best companion to del.icio.us you can find. I can't use Internet properly without this one.

The best delicious client I've found. Unfortunately its pretty expensive.

Vienna is a nice application - and free/libre to boot. If it works for you, use Vienna. I'm not so sure Vienna is more feature-rich: endo is more configurable, has extensive scripting support, integrates with blogging clients, and has direct posting to del.icio.us. It's one of the richest and most flexible feed-reading experiences out there. The developer is very responsive, too.

Vienna has had support for posting to del.icio.us since 2.1. It directly sends the information you want to Pukka and/or Cocoalicious.

Not sure it's worth the money: the UI is "different", but not more. It's not much better than already mentioned Vienna and doesn't compare well with other shareware RSS readers. Maybe new versions would be better but right now it's surely not "fantastic".

endo is not shareware anymore.
Please read this information from the developer's blog:
"I have decided to make endo donation-ware as I just don't have that much time to spend on both ecto and endo. Since ecto is my flagship product and the one app that has lived from when I started writing Cocoa apps and the one app in use by so many users, it deserves most of my coding attention. Aggregators for Mac are a dime a dozen and they're all good quality. endo will remain software under active development, but it will be of less priority than ecto. It's likely I'm upgrading endo as a 10.5 only product at some point. I have always considered endo has an alternative aggregator, one that approaches news-reading differently from the rest. I use it daily and am pleased it has gained some kind of cult-status with a sizable group of followers."
Maybe the administrator of endo in I Use This could update the information about the application...
