It’s really a shame that OS X doesn’t have a consistent shortcut for switching tabs. It’s ctrl+tab for Safari but not Terminal. – edit: scrap that, only true for at least those using German keyboard layouts, not everyone using US keyboard layouts (and others?) (Cool thing, though, for all these commands is that you can simply switch direction by throwing in shift.)
It does have a consistent shortcut: Command+{ and Command+}. Works in every app that has tabs.

it doesn't work in textmate (cmd+opt+ ). seems to work in almost every other app though.
I guess pick the shortcuts that cover the largest subset of apps you care about.
> Caffeine – When activated stops your Mac going to sleep! Great for presentations or watching your “on demand” TV shows. Seriously, you need an app for that?!
Caffeine is for when you're doing something like watching Hulu, but even then you can enable hot corners in the system preferences to handle this for you.
VLC (at least in the past) has been kind of a dick about it; it tells the system not to go to sleep or blank the screen whenever it's running, whether it's playing a video or not. Dunno if they've fixed this yet.
I would add MultiClutch to the list http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-... . It allows you to define custom gestures for any application. I was thinking of switching to jitouch http://www.jitouch.com/ . Anyone know how they compare?
I haven't tried MultiClutch, but from what I can find on the web, it looks like it lets you re-define what the built-in gestures do. This is fairly useful, although it has the downside that apps that are designed with the multitouch gestures in mind lose that functionality. jitouch doesn't change any of the built-in gestures; it just adds a bunch of new ones, and lets you configure those. I find this to work quite we…

Curious, any particular reason for colors.app vs Digital Color Meter?
It's basically a nice interface for the system color picker.
I discovered this app not long ago in one of the comments in the following article; which covers other little gems too, definitely worth reading if you're into front-end design:
