Hey neat, my app https://GetCloak.com/ made it into the list. And we're still beta -- though v1.0 is coming quite soon. Fun!
I'm using it right now, as is a friend I recommended it to a few minutes ago, thanks to this post.

This is odd, for me there is no lag on Lion when I hold down the backspace key. And what do you mean by stream redirection? That usually means this: > echo "derp" > foo.txt That has nothing to do with iterm2 and everything to do with bash or whatever shell you are using, I think. Might you be confusing iterm2 with iterm? Iterm2 is a completely separate piece of software than iterm, it's not the second version of the…
I mean things like 2>&1 or 2>/dev/null (redirecting error stream to stdout etc). This did not work for me last time I tried it. This coupled with significant lag when scrolling/listing huge dir, typing made me quickly abandon it. Terminal app does everything I really need and it's fast and reliable.

Is there a downside to using the default firewall, if I don't want to do things like bandwidth-capping apps?
I'm thinking that by 'built-in firewall' he/she means the built-in firewall GUI interface. I'd be interested to know what LittleSnitch is doing if it isn't hooking into ipfw.
A decent starter list, but definitely not complete (for me at least). I'd add the following * TotalFinder (makes the OS X finder not terrible anymore, tabs, etc) * HandsOff/LittleSnitch (oh, you're just using the built-in firewall? that's cute.) * Transmit (everything you could ever want in an FTP app) * CommandQ (W and Q are way too close together) * Mou (free alternative to Byword) * Evernote (note-taking that sync…

I'm probably going to buy a MBA soon after working with Debian & Openbox on a dated netbook for too long. I spend most of my time in side-by-side Vim/shell/ssh sessions inside tmux within the Guake terminal. If MacVim is a standalone app, why do people use it? Isn't one of the nicest things about Vim that it lives in the terminal and can be launched from any root in the terminal?
The only good reason to use MacVim is support for millions of colors so color schemes look nicer. It also supports full screen mode (now in Lion Terminal does too, but before this used to be a missing feature), also it's easier to launch MacVim as external editing tool for other apps like Firefox with Pentadactyl extension (this allows you to edit any text box/area with vim). Other than that, you really don't need Ma…
If we're making our own lists, here's some that others haven't mentioned: * Jumpcut - http://jumpcut.sourceforge.net/ - simple and unintrusive clipboard history * dterm - http://decimus.net/DTerm - popup terminal * bwana - http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ - man pages in your browser * Grand Perspective - http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ - disk usage program
I recommend DaisyDisk instead - http://daisydiskapp.com

And it's broken. Screen updates are way slower, and stream redirection plain doesn't work. Terminal app is pretty good.

Then for some really screaming performance, cat a big logfile in xterm. Then, for insane performance cat a big logfile in mrxvt or rxvt.
Anti aliasing really slows things down, so performance is faster in the "native" terminal apps when that turned off, but with x11, theres way less than millisecond delays for printing stuff on the screen. I do like my terminal to be fast.

I love TotalFinder, and also can't live without flux. I don't really understand the excitement over Alfred/Quicksilver though... what does it do that spotlight can't? Just activate spotlight by pressing Command+Space, and type in whatever you want to do (you can launch a program, do a calculation, look up a word, whatever).
To add to Pewpewarrows' comment, I'll give you a couple of examples of things I do with QuickSilver. I can never remember the IP address of my work's VPN, so I created a text file on my desktop with the IP as its name. Whenever I need it, I do: Ctrl+Space, ~/Desktop/[IP] to select the file, '.' to treat the filename as text, tab to go to the action part of QuickSilver, start typing "clipboard" and when "Copy to clipb…
Z does for cd what QuickSilver does for the Finder. It's totally awesome: https://github.com/rupa/z
* Terminal.app
* SBCL
* DiffMerge
* GitHub.app
* Graphviz
* Chrome, Adium
I have not spent 1 cent on software for my Mac so far. The only software that tempts me is OmniGraffle, because it really is that good.
I live on the command line and quite often, in open source software.
