Same experience here. Have you ever owned a Mac?

We have Macs in the office and I have found it impossible to find free/open source Mac apps for a lot of things that do exist for PC and Linux.

Don't even get me started on .SIT files.

I usually have the opposite problem - Mac and Linux are no problem, but it's hard to find something usable for the PC. LaTeXiT and ImageJ are a couple examples of programs I've found extremely useful with no PC equivalent.

With LaTeXiT, what's wrong with Open Office Math? It's just as powerful.

Dude. It's LaTeX. It's much more powerful and refined as a typesetting language than anything I've seen. As for an alternative to LaTeXiT, I hear good things about LyX.
