Yes, I know Araxis. I also know Kdiff3, Meld, xxdiff and countless others that do 3-way diffs, directory comparisons and more and are free and open source.

Don't get me wrong, I am definitely willing to pay for a better UI and a better Mac look and feel (Changes is very slick), but only if has an equivalent feature set first.

the easiest way to get it working is to install all of its dependencies through MacPorts, and to then build xxdiff with the right prefix (/opt)

very nice, more features than any other Hex editor for the Mac such as HexFiend or HexEdit

This is the only subversion client I know that lets you edit revision properties such as the commit message. I keep it around for that feature alone. As for the rest, it's somewhat unpolished and I wouldn't really recommend using it at this point.

Very clean UI but it nags you every other mouse click that you are running a demo. Very annoying.

See SQLite Database Browser for a Free (open source) alternative.

Try MesaSQLite, it's not free but it doesn't nag. In fact, the only way I found out it wasn't free was by looking up the home page to list it on here.

I bought a copy of this a few weeks ago, and it's a pretty solid app. Much better than SQLite Database Browser.

This app looks nice but 39 USD is way to much. The sqlite-manager Firefox extension (http://code.google.com/p/sqlite-manager) does the same.

If you want a pretty GUI and a Dashboard widget, get MAMPP. If you want more features and libraries built-in, get XAMPP :)

Way better than MAMP. Its updated more often and the command line interface is amazing. I hated the MAMP GUI which does not even have a restart button.

This app needs its icon ! Would be cool if other users, not just the submitter, could upload an icon if there isn't already one.

I also think this should be deleted in favour of the version-less "Adobe Photoshop"

There are no alternatives to Adobe software, commercial or otherwise. They're decent at what they do, but I use the software more because nothing else offers their features.

Serious cons: all Adobe software is extremely buggy, very memory hungry and pretty slow (relatively speaking).

The GIMP is not a Photoshop replacement.

I really don't like it, but there's no alternative.

I'm using CS, not CS2 right now, and I haven't had too much problems with bugs. Memory hungry it is, though.

Runs terribly on my Macintel; I can't wait for the universal CS3

Apple should make a competitor to Photoshop. Put some of the Aperture design team on there and poof! A universal version of photoshop with that Apple Application integration that we all know and love.

I still use CS which (unlike CS2) doesn't act like a virus by inserting itself everywhere. It's also a lot smaller.
Edit: briefly used GIMPshop on my other powerbook.......it seemed a lot faster than CS, but DIDN'T have all the functionality.
eg, I use individual style effects in individual layers a lot. This isn't included with Gimp. You have to download extra scripts and extra files to make it work and all the PS ones aren't available (yet).
To avoid the hassle I switched back to CS

I use Photoshop a lot and I don't think I'll be replacing it any time soon. There is nothing out there with it's relative usability or versatility. It is however a beast, as the comments below confirm. For basic image editing I use ChocoFlop. Yes its still in Beta, but it looks very promising. Oh and its fast.
