That's simply not true, in fact the reverse is true.

Windows, with the exception of games, lacks many essential applications that can only be found on Apple OS X.

None of the software below runs on Windows.

MarsEdit.

MarsEdit allows you to manage an unlimited number of blogs from one program, including posts, pages, images, galleries etc



Ember

Ember lets you take full snapshots of web pages including the full source as rendered by Webkit. It allows you to take full screen, searchable snapshots that can be exported as images or source.



Final Cut Pro X

Final Cut Pro X is arguably the best video editing software I have ever used.



Coda

Coda is an all in one code editor, ftp client, MySQL client. It allows you to quickly and easily access all your code for different projects but the feature I find most useful is the on the fly MySQL client that even outweighs clients like Navicat.



Scrivener

Scrivener is a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents. While it gives you complete control of the formatting, its focus is on helping you get to the end of that awkward first draft.

It allows you to save web pages, links, photos, any type of media within your project to use as reference material that's quickly and easily available from the editor. It has a cards based outlining tool. I've seen nothing else that compares.



Leaf

Leaf is an RSS / XML News Reader on steroids. Not only does it allow you to quickly read full articles regardless of whether the feed is summary only, but it allows you to snapshot, catalog and save articles of interest for later reference. It also keeps all the images intact and removes advertising



Cinemagraph Pro

Cinemagraph Pro for Mac is the award-winning pro tool designed exclusively for creating amazing cinemagraph images.



Logic Pro X

On my Music workstation I have Logic Pro X. I use Ableton Live and Native Instruments Maschine but it's Logic Pro that provides all the functionality I need to do final mixes.
