OmniGraffle Pro

I just upgraded from 4 to 5, and it's a pretty awesome leap: you can write outlines in a sidebar (or move them back and forth to OmniOutliner!) and it'll automatically lay them out as a mindmap, circles, tree, &c. It's a very cool “check this out!” feature.

It's always a pleasure when an app can be both fun to work with and a reliable workhorse. By contrast, Visio crashes every time I use it on my Vista machine, and seems to exist to make my life hell.

Oh well.
