QotD: Favorite Costly App
Posted December 18th, 2004 @ 07:21pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: What's your favorite application in the "costs more than fifty bucks" crowd? Why?
My Answer: BBEdit ranks up there, but that may be a ranking of familiarity and nothing else. Can Unreal Tournament 2004 be my answer? Heck, I don't have much software over $50. I like Photoshop, but it's pretty utilitarian for me (so is BBEdit, but Photoshop is not nearly as customizable). I like Final Cut Pro but never have reason to use it anymore, so… Uhhhh…

Mathematica or IntelliJ IDEA. Basically, the applications that could be called the "man behind the curtain" that makes me look wizardly.

I don't know about favorite, but there are dozens that I'd love to try and maybe even own -- Studio MX, MAYA Family, Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Pro HD, and above all others... OSX Panther.
As far as favorite app that I actually own -- Halo 2 or Quicken depending on whether you allow games or not.

Microsoft Windows! Though strangely, most of the apps I use are freeware. Not sure how that figures...
