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. :(

Love Sequel Pro as well but HeidiSQL on Windows is great too. Both have their pluses, not sure which one I like more.

If anyone's looking for something like Sequel Pro but for SQLite, I recommend Base. Sadly, not free.

I only wish I could find a good Mac client for Postgres. pgAdmin III is awful.

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

He linked to his vimrc on github from the article. The binding is done in this block:

  if has("gui_macvim") "Use Experimental Renderer option must be enabled for transparencY
    set transparency=15
    set guifont=Monaco:h10
    set noantialias " I like my Monaco this way ;D
    " Swipe to move between bufers :D
    map  :bprev
    map  :bnext
  endif

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. The Mac gives you a re…

Awww come on, windows isn't that bad, I find VS2008 or 2010 + Kiln to be a pretty good combo.

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

I don't agree; Tower is pretty good (and pretty pretty), but SourceTree is siginificantly more performant and full-featured. It's much faster than Tower with large repos, and can open more than one repo at the same time, supports Git submodules (not to mention Hg and svn, though I don't need/use those).

I bought SourceTree for $60 and was completely satisfied, but since then Atlassian bought it and made it free. I would say SourceTree is the best Git client for Mac (or any platform).

I recently wrote a pretty detailed list and review of Git GUIs for Mac.

It includes 3 forks of GitX, Tower, SourceTree, and Gitbox.

Hopefully people find it of use.

Ah, I missed that- thanks!

Out of curiosity, what were you missing from Linux? That's not to say I don't miss things from Linux (/proc, XMonad to name two), just nothing all that much.

Can't you run XMonad on a mac? I'm pretty sure a couple people I know do just that. (There might be some wrangling and virtual machines, but I doubt it.)

For a free MySQL client ... maybe, but if you're willing to pay a little money, I think Querious is better designed http://www.araelium.com/querious/
