ALBION  As usual, MaNGOSx does not work. It downloads the script, then can't find it. It does not seem to be compatible with MAMP 1.7.1's SQL. Installation and usage instructions are vague and often wrong. Developer forums aren't much better. Goes nowhere, does nothing. Standard behavior for this app through many revisions.  
(Version 2.0)

ALBION  Agreed, support for this product is useless (and often quite surly).

It does work. Not as well as it used to, but it works. If you are having difficulty with the URL/filename insanity, try eliminating the filename portion completely, such as:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/

My listeners often have to reconnect a few times, and I often have to restart the icecast server several times before they can get any connection at all. An infinite-buffering problem is also evident. The problem is definitely Nicecast and not my firewall. But once it is finally all working, it works reasonably well. Keep trying.  
(Version 1.8.6)

ALBION  Just improvements and bug fixes? I wish other developers would focus on improvements and bug fixes, instead of introducing flashy new features every few months that they can't implement properly. As for Fire... it was always quite buggy and prone to crashing. Adium just works.

Props to the Adium team.  
(Version 1.0.2)

ALBION  Mellel is far more sane and consistent than Word, and far less bug-ridden than Nisus. Mellel and Nisus both do a fairly poor job of importing .doc format. Only NeoOffice is an even vaguely credible alternative to Word for dealing with this obfuscated propietary format.

If you need to process words on a Mac, and communicate with the rest of the world, you need them all. Well, honestly, you could probably live without Nisus.  
(Version 2.2)

ALBION  It's free. It's open source. Unhappy? Put up or shut up.  
(Version 2.7.2)

ALBION  "Version 2.2 has major GUI changes in the navigation of its text editing capabilities, including a simplified tool bar. It can also open up Gzip (.gz) files. And like BBEdit, it adds Java support for TeX and JavaScript languages."

Yes, but... has it stopped constantly crashing, and does the SFTP support actually work now?  
(Version 2.2)

ALBION  With support for regexps, projects, functions, tabs, shell commands, and bindings to FTP clients such as Cyberduck and Fugu, Smultron is simply the best free editor in Cocoa on OS X. Pay no heed to the commenters and reviewers who haven't the wherewithal to learn a different key binding or cope with page-based scrolling.

Did I mention Smultron is FREE?  
(Version 2.2.6)

ALBION  The scrolling behavior that makes Smultron "useless" for you is the same scrolling behavior in every OS X application that uses the Cocoa text widget. Maybe you'd be happier with Windows?  
(Version 2.2.6)

ALBION  The author says as much on his own web site... your point?

He should be praised for such devotion in maintaining an old favorite of many Mac users. Most others would have abandoned this project long ago.  
(Version 1.8.15)

ALBION  Notice how the developer response neatly sidestepped the glaring absence of an Intel version.  
(Version 2.0.2)

ALBION  Linden Labs has had years, literally, to get their Mac viewer up to snuff, and they've had a Mac viewer from day one. Kudos on having an OS X version, but it is absolutely dreadful compared to the Windows viewer. If you run the Windows viewer on an Intel-inside Macintosh with BootCamp or Parallels, the difference in performance is like night and day. LL can no longer fall back on excuses. Mac hardware is not gimped. The Mac viewer code base is.  
(Version 1.10.4.4)

ALBION  Come on, Blizz... as long as updates are coming out, how about flipping the Intel switch on the compiler please?  
(Version 1.20e)

ALBION  0.8 will not launch on my MBP running current version of OS X. Back to 0.71...  
(Version 0.8)

ALBION  What does this do that OS X power management doesn't do already?  
(Version 0.5)

ALBION  This looks pretty cool, but hasn't been updated in an age. Anyone know whether it's abandonware?  
(Version 1.4.2t)
