I got version 2 in a bundle some time ago, but never used it. It wasn't very intuitive and I had problems getting it to work reliably. Version 3, however, is an amazing improvement. It feels much more like a familiar Mac app, both in looks and features. It's very responsive and hasn't crashed on me. Hopefully Apple won't break it with their updates for a while, because now I can think of some ways this will be useful.
Also, since I got it through a 3rd party bundle, I needed to get my 3.0 key from the developer directly. He was very helpful and responsive. The free upgrade from 2 to 3 makes Tool Force's apps much more appealing to me.
I used to use both Divvy and Breeze to keep my windows where I needed them. I ignored Moom 1.0 since it didn't have much of a feature set, but with the new grid, custom controls, and layout memorization in 2.1, I now only need Moom. It's very light on resources, much more elegant, more powerful, and a better value! Nothing bad to say here.
It's brilliantly simple and unobtrusive, but it still has plenty of useful features. The new presets are simple to set up and cover pretty much everything I need from a window manager.
I've been using Little Snitch for two or three years now. It's great at what it does, but it really hasn't added any features for a while, just bugfixes. So I was very surprised to see Hands Off surpassing LS's features before even exiting beta. The ability to stop disk access for specific applications is very handy and well-implemented. The interface is very easy to use, even for detailed rules.
When I had the aforementioned Japanese input issue, I also got a support response in less than five minutes, so good job Metakine. (Looks like the issue is indeed fixed going into 1.0.) The ability to quickly set presets when launching a new application is a really nice touch. Like Little Snitch, setting up your per-application preferences can take some work (depending on how specific you want to be), but once you set it up, it pretty much stays out of your face and does it's thing.
