QuickSilver is our favorite application on the Mac. The great developer of this awesome tool – Nicholas Jitkoff has made it opensource and went to work for google more than a year ago.
Today, the same Nicholas Jitkoff from Google has introduced The Quick Search Box. Which I would believe is a replacement for QuickSilver from now on.

But, on another side, leaking of version control and no powerful bundles as TextMate keep a lot of Ruby developers out of it.
Things may change:
After a lot of work, we’re finally ready to work with some people to test Coda 1.5 — the next major release of Coda — and prepare it for the general public.
…
To enter Coda 1.5 limited private beta, go to: http://www.panic.com/hive/
If registration is still available, the registration link will be in the upper-right corner of the page. (If there’s no link, we’re full.)
So what’s new in Coda 1.5?
Better Search and Replace?
Source Control Support (SVN or Git)?
Custom Books? Add more Ruby Document in it?
Better Support for more than one languages mix together in one file?
…
Stay tuned.
* Unless you want to use more than one window. Which is totally cool.
