A wonderful application that is always overlooked in these kinds of lists: Grapher. Comes FREE with your MacOS install. If you are in school or do math or science it's absolutely wonderful. And I had no idea it was even there until I was poking around in the Applications/Utilities folder and stumbled across it. Even does differential equations. Does Windows OS install come with any really useful applications? Yeah, Minesweeper I know, but come on...
And in that article there was one app which lets you "access parts of your mac for which you'd normally use Terminal". Boo! Make people learn Terminal! Unleash the power of Unix, and run your computer the way God intended: the command line! I even have my Terminal app set up with a classic green monochrome/black background to emulate that old-school terminal look! Of course, for the old-timey computing full Monty, you've gotta try GLTerminal! (I wish the author would open up the source for that, so that the somewhat buggy preferences settings and other issues could be fixed, to turn this not-quite-ready-for-primetime app into a real jewel!)
