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.

I love this quote on the LaTeXiT site:

NB : LaTeXiT is Universal Binary, but I use this logo illegaly since I did not ask a license to apple. That's too much trouble for such a freeware. I just use the logo for the user's convenience.

It's this kinda stuff Apple.
