I've been working with MAMP and Coda for about 8 months now and I love it. I'm just working on personal projects so I don't have a need for a whole suite of tools

I also use Coda with PHP & Web Toolkit plugin, Transmit, Sequel Pro, DTerm (grep for fast search through files) and Xcode for iOS development

I had:

Espresso and TextWrangler as IDE

Cyberduck for FTP

Skitch and Cloud App for Screenshot sharing

Chrome with Web Developer Plugin + Firebug Light

Sequel Pro for MySQL management

FileMaker 10 Pro Advanced

ToodleDo Fluid App for To-do List

OmniGraffle + OmniPlan

On a sidenote, Does anyone have recommendations for some alternatives on a windows platform? I made a new post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1620115) since i just got a new Windows machine

USB Overdrive to correct mouse acceleration curve. Divvy is amazing to quickly organize your desktop. Cloudapp for screenshots (or Scrup). http://Drop.io/ for files sharing Evernote for saving info. PTHPasteboard for clipboard manager. CoRD for remote desktop to windows machines. TextMate with the "Disable Refresh Refresh on Regaining Focus" plugin installed. Sometimes I use MacVim as well. Got a bunch of plugins set…

Check out the nightly builds of Sequel Pro for tabs. They'll be included in the next major release (0.9.9):

Photoshop and Coda. And a good cup of coffee.

I downloaded the latest nightly build (2568) and found the new tab feature. It looks promising. However, I really like the way MySQL Query Browser creates new script/query tabs sharing the same session (http://cl.ly/4c353b77cac746d51698). It's more convenient to have multiple query tabs that can be quickly created, switched to or closed down, then having to create a new connection every time for a new tab.

PS: also the shortcuts to switch between tabs weren't working for me.
