More than TextEdit, less than MS Word, and it has an intuitive and pretty design:
The perfect text app!
Excellent replacement for Textedit. Two days using it and I am sold. Just enough features to make editing easy, without cluttering up the interface like a bulky word processor. I especially appreciate:
- Alternate text colors (e.g. Green on Black)
- Zoom slider at the bottom of the window
- Multi-color highlighting of text
- Fast/Free
Perfect app for taking notes, writing drafts, then transferring to a more complex app for layout. I'll never use TextEdit again. Thanks, Bean!
Wrong icon, here is the real/new one: http://suffren.org/files/beanapp.png
Lean and fast. Not a real alternative to OpenOffice/NeoOffice though. Looking forward to OpenDocument support.
achhh this is such a nice little word processor, but why won't it save the zoom setting or window size/position!?
Confirmed working well with Opentype fonts w/ ligatures/stylistic alternates.
Too bad that doesn't support .odt documents.
However, pretty and light. Hope that it will support .odt and will be usable with Lepard AND Tiger.

I'm using 1.3.3 and it DOES support ODT documents (at least in Save As). :)
Very nice! It even edits Safari's webarchive files! :^)
I'm using it on Leopard.
Comment and replies on Cyberduck:
Best FTP client I've ever used. And it's GPL !
I really really like Cyberduck. Per ssh pub key ability is nice and it's open-source. Transmit says it can use ssh pubkeys, but none of the documented methods work. This saves me big time when I need to scp a file from a machine that only serves ssh. It's weakness is concurrency and large file operations, but I can forgive it for that mostly, it's not that mature. Very nice UI design, and I can easily migrate the bookmarks.
Great app but lacks queue management.
Great that they have added SCP support in the latest version, but it still looks like it's using sftp when it's connecting to my appletv :(
Tried Yumy FTP and Cute FTP, both full version and Cyberduck still won by FAR. Cyberduck is simple the best (& free) FTP client.
Hands down, this is the best simple and free FTP application I have ever seen. Easy-to-use GUI, and works well on my Powerbook G4.
Am I the only one who finds this app rather sluggish and crash-prone? I use it when i need to because I can't find anything better for free, but it's hardly an app I enjoy using.
brian, i do find it takes quite a while to load. otherwise i do use it very frequently and have never had it crash. the interface is also put together very nicely and it fits in with the os x gui just like a good cocoa app should.
I don't have any problems with load time or stability, and I think its pretty great for a free app, however, IMHO Transmit from Panic is worth shelling out for.
Still, if you don't use it a ridiculously large amount, Cyberduck certainly gets the job done.
I've used this program without issue for about 5 months but suddently it's constantly giving me "failed connection" errors whilst command line FTP works fine.

Incredibly useless, but exhilarating!
