- Fugu -
Secure FTP. SCP etc. Hasn't really been updated in a while
but it works pretty well. Allows you to edit remote files
with your favorite local text editor.
- TextWrangler -
Decent text editor from the makers of BBEdit. Major deficiency is
that it doesn't support nested languages (e.g. Javascript within HTML,
HTML within PHP, etc.).
- RegExhibit -
Interactively test regular expressions
- Locomotive -
Ruby on Rails in a box. A single standalone application that
includes Ruby, MySQL, a web server, and an application to manage
them all.
- MySQL 5.0
- PostgreSQL
-
CocoaMySQL
-
Aquamacs Emacs -
Holy union of emacs and Aqua. Normal emacs key bindings work (e.g.
C-e end of line). Normal Aqua keybindings work (e.g. Cmd-a select all).
Includes various elisp functions to bring emacs closer to the 21st
century. All in a nice OS X native application with lots of polish.
Not Free
- TextMate -
Best text editor ever. (Sorry emacs).
-
Transmit - Best FTP/SFTP/SCP client ever. Allows me to edit
remote filew seemlessly with TextMate. These days I'm often
connected to the internet intermittently or with high latency.
Editing files in this idiom (which seems to be almost unique to
the Mac) is the best way around that.
