Omnigraffle is the software that originally convinced me to switch from windows to mac. I love it so much. Great features, simple UI that doesn't fiddle too much version to version and it basically never crashes on me.

I bought Omnigraffle a few versions back but when it was time to upgrade I just couldn't afford it. I would upgrade every year for 25$ if they had it at that price point.

Scrivener (http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php). It's a fantastic tool that gets out of your way while writing but still gives you the ability to operate on larger units from paragraphs to chapters, plus keep track of all of your research materials.

I'm absolutely amazed I haven't seen Photoshop on the list yet. Incredibly powerful, very reliable, thoroughly worth the pricetag - and I don't love subscription software. It's generally a joy to use. And I can't think of another piece of powerful visual creation software that is.

Photoshop is incredibly glitchy, at least its Windows version is. It manages to crash even while initializing.
