Best free Mac software (Mac freeware)

Mac freeware FAQ: Can you provide a list of the best free Mac software?

While I'm loading up some freeware on a friend's new MacBook, it hit me how much really wonderful free Mac software is available these days.

I always wondered how they knew about these software updates so fast. With today's RSS feeds it's pretty easy.

Tame Swing examples - initial images online
