    Does what it does well, I use it often for design and mockups.

  • GarageBand

    I haven't found anything else as powerful that is this easy to use. Period.

  • Office Excel

    Excel is old and still a standard. I expect it to be knocked out of the water sometime. It was invented in 1985... XLSX is promising but still might not cut it.

  • DVD Player

    Straight forward and relatively bug-less.

  • Finder

    Initially simple and straight-forward but more configurable than it appears. Once you get used to it, Finder is quite powerful. For those who wanted to see the current file path (pwd): * Open Terminal and run the following command: defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES Then type "killall Finder" (to restart Finder) and enjoy your Finder path. Cheers!

    I like the auto backups, very stable, great for scripting.

  • Visual SourceSafe

    Definitely the worst source control I have ever worked with. It's UI and features are counter-intuitive. Though I disagree with other people, you can have concurrent check outs, it just needs to be enabled... The fact is, like other Microsoft software, it is incomplete, not-user friendly, and unstable. The overhead it takes to get one of my new developers to understand VSS is frustrating. I cannot tell you how many time's I've "Gotten latest" and it DOES NOT get latest. This of course leads to many publishing issues.

  • YouTube

    You can literally get lost in here. Content content content. I would even argue that it has changed the average human (internet user) attention span.

  • iTunes

    Mac version is great. I am not a fan of the windows version.

  • Yelp

    Great place to get an idea of a place you haven't been before as well as venue to share your opinions and experiences with different businesses.

    I would really like to be introduced to something better. Until then, Gmail FTW.

  • Facebook

    Facebook is obviously a solid social network. The apps required access to your content is frustrating but understood as a business model. I would like to see more multimedia content control and of controlled course theme-ing/skinning.

    Flickr is brilliant. Period.

    I currently like Google search better than Bing but I am trying to stay unbiased so we will see where this battle goes.

    I'm starting to like this more and more over TweetDeck. Facebook support and this would win.
