Inform 7 - meanwhile, Inform has become a language similar to English for creating interactive fiction. And it has received a GUI for the Mac with which you can analyze and test the various story paths. Somehow impressive what has all emerged, just for text adventures.

Magic Launch - interesting little tool with which you can configure the application that comes up for a file when you double-click. Especially interesting if you want to open some files in different directories with different editors (e.g. because one project works with Netbeans and the Netbeans Python plugin, another one normally with TextWrangler and a third one with VIM for Unix compatibility). Or if you simply have a file extension that is used by different programs.
