I prefer AppStore.
If the app is not on there, I'll check their website, and download from there.
Lastly, I use brew.
The exception is command line tools, those I usually install with brew. (pyenv, ffmpeg, etc)

#23My favorite would be modernCSV since I look at CSVs all day
Also I found this cool brew bash function i thought i share this here
brewpackages (){ brew list --formula | xargs -n1 -P8 -I {} \ sh -c "brew info {} | egrep '[0-9]* files, ' | sed 's/^.[0-9] files, \(.\)).$/{} \1/'" | \ sort -h -r -k2 - | column -t }
This allows you to view how much space each package is taking

it seems to be missing a quote somewhere, it gives the bash continuation prompt

Nope, no luck.
But strangely, your comment is rendering with a couple of spans of italics. Here is a paste, with "i" tags and "" marking the odd rendering I see:
brewpackages (){ brew list --formula | xargs -n1 -P8 -I {} \ sh -c "brew info {} | egrep '[0-9]* files, ' | sed 's/^.[0-9] files, \(.\)).$/{} \1/'" | \ sort -h -r -k2 - | column -t }
is HN consuming your markup unexpectedly ?

#29macOCR - macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.
You can install it w/ brew install schappim/ocr/ocr

#30The distance of cask means I install everything with it.
Which is handy if I ever feel like wiping my Mac fresh and running a single command to install everything.
