My Recent Development Stack: OS X Tools

Thanks for the heads up on Jason. I work with a lot of web apis and this looks like a great tool for browsing json responses.

My application Library Inspector is also pretty useful if you are a developer: <a href="http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/software/library-inspector" rel="nofollow">http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/software/library-inspector</a><p>If you are developing Mac and iOS applications it is especially useful as it gives .a and .dylib files custom icons indicating their architecture.

Jason looks great. It definitely makes JSON management easy. I loved it and even donated money.

GitX is good (and free), but if you're looking for the best Git client for Mac, without a doubt it's Tower (<a href="http://www.git-tower.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.git-tower.com/</a>).

Interesting, this article helped me with some VIM issues.<p>Does anyone know if you can open multiple docs in macVIM, in the same window and switch back and forth between?

I'd be really interested in hearing how you got the swipe left/right commands to map to buffer management in MacVim.

I don't see what people get out of Property List Editor style interfaces - syntax highlighted JSON is easier to read once it goes through a prettifier, and surely writing JSON is drastically faster with a text editor.

Can anyone recommend a good GUI on Mac for Postgres? Sequel Pro is amazing, but it unfortunately only supports MySQL.

I've found that when it comes to GUI tools the Mac is your best friend. Even a good majority of command lime stuff is really a joy to use. I'll never abandon the Mac but I must say that the deeper into my programming journey I get the more I'm reaching for my Linux machine. Last week I caught myself thinking of dumping the Mac altogether! But that's heresy and I quickly banished those thoughts.<p>The Mac gives you a really great portion of 2 worlds - the ability to operate from the terminal much like Linux but with amazing support for anything requiring you to either use or create GUI apps. The only problem is that once you venture off too far in one direction or the other you're either wishing you were on your Mac or you Linux machine. I don't subscribe to the belief that on OS is superior to another. Mac and Linux each have their very special uses. Instead I subscribe to the belief that 2 OSes are better than the third (unless you're coding for Windows exclusively in which case I wouldn't want to be you).

I agree Sequel Pro is awesome, hands down best MySql client I have used on any platform. I also love Textmate, great text editor. For CSS - CSS Edit can't be beat however the developer is no longer offering it as a standalone app. :(
