Ironically they are hard to find using search, which is why I think it would be nice if we could get a consolidated sticky in one of the forums to discuss the subject.

Firefox
iTunes
PulpFiction Lite
Folding@Home
Virtue
Quicksilver
Skype
Adium
iChat
Digital Color Meter
Snap-N-Drag
CocoaMySQL

Those are a couple of my favorites

yeah a sticky would be good, especially for new comers like me maybe sticky in switchers hangout ? :black:

what I will try to do is gather a big list of great freeware programs and post it on here for a mod to sticky if thats possible if not ill just make a quick site and post it on the net, and put a link under my sig.

I like the idea but don't think that would be too useful. If we wanted just a list of freeware it could be done simply by searching versiontracker or macupdate. I would rather people only post those applications that they find useful.

I have been playing with an idea on starting a thread where people would post one app a day and explain why they like the app and use the first post in the thread as an index. It could work, but seems a bit too.... narcissistic. Not to mention I would be bummed if I were the only person to post in it.
