PandoraJam
Robert reviewed on 04 Mar 2010
The performance is really making it hard for me to do so, however. Unlike the other players, PandoraJam pushes my my load average up to 3, 4, 5 and beyond, and routinely locks up my system if I don't minimize its window.

AIM for Mac
Can this one format spaces in your screen name?
Or do we still need to keep 4.7 around for that?
I'm not going to lie; like many, I don't actually use the official client, but it's great to have a decent one, anyhow--even if you personally only use it to set up various small features of your account before switching to Adium.

Quicksilver
Robert reviewed on 12 Jan 2009
And I'm still amazed by it and finding out what I can do. Best interface contribution to computing since the mouse.
To answer some questions here, Quicksilver went open-source about a year ago. There is continued maintenance of Quicksilver b5X, and the start of something new (Google Code braintree-alchemy). This version on MacUpdate may still be what you want to use for the time being, if you're not having troubles.
For more info, google last year's interview on lifehacker. To improve performance, google Quicksilver Performance Issues on the Mac. To learn how to use QS better, check Dan Dickinson's intermediate Quicksilver tutorial.

CoolIris

Developers of any eye-candy sort of app are quick to drop support for 10.4... but G3? Wow. It is totally usable and useful on it, it actually saves time if you do Google image searches and the like.
(I, too, had tried PicLens, and wasn't so impressed with it at that time.)
AddressBookSync

There's one more feature that is new for 1.1, however. Crash on launch. (G3, 10.4.11)
Erroneous

Perhaps it did once, but not anymore. OS X 10.4.10
Intaglio
Robert reviewed on 09 Jul 2007
It depends on what you want to do, and what formats you want to output to. For the best SVG compatibility, it's still all about Inkscape, even though it's an X11 app.
Subliminal Message Pro
Robert reviewed on 08 Apr 2007
Every setting seems the same--actually the shorter settings seems longer, though this may be because of my expectation that they be less noticeable. I find every image readily recognizable and quite superliminal. Images are even more intrusive by the white background that is flashed around them to fill the entire screen.
Oddly, pictures must be kept in a fixed subfolder of ~/Documents instead of a selectable folder or even a subfolder in... ~/Pictures. To make your images available to the program, you can make an alias to your folder of images, move it under ~/Documents, and rename it to "SMPictures".

MacIrssi
Thread: Unknown
Link (dyld) error:
incompatible cpu-subtype
Ironically, a major reason I choose irssi over other irc clients is because of its low cpu usage and system requirements.
HakoreSMS
i.e. my numbers in Address Book are formatted like: +48 6xx xx xx xx
but the widget just cuts it off to something like: +48 6xx xx x

Apple Safari
SafariStand works, opening multiple tabs works, turning on the anti-phishing feature seems to work, too.

As for the locale problem, it was caused by losing the path setup with a recent fink update.

Amendment
Now, several weeks (months?) after the fact, a dialog began popping up with every new app I launch...
It had left behind an input manager...go to /Library/InputManagers/ and remove the Amendment folder there. If anyone knows of other droppings it leaves, please add.

As for the app when it's installed, my review in June on another site was as follows:
--
I tried it.
The key-combo selection wasn't a problem, it's customizable and it seems to make a reasonable choice to begin with, depending on whether you're on 10.3 or 10.4, etc.
While the app is attractive and stylish in the Cocoa fashion, and smartly introduced as a preference pane, I found it to be almost hilariously intrusive. Really, you have to try it, it's much worse than you would imagine by reading the description.
You know how you'd be typing along and you make a typo and you FEEL it before you even see it, and you automatically backup a space and correct it? You can't do that anymore. Even if the error happens at the beginning of a word, even if you decided to use a different word. The grey pop-up appears, it's insisting, and it's modal. You must deal with it and its interface NOW, but it doesn't know what you want, and won't get out of your way.
I uninstalled it in record time.

Or so I thought, lol.

Gmailto
Google has since released Gmail Notifier, however, which can be chosen as a mailto: app, and seems to work fine for one account.
