Microsoft Access -- best of breed desktop database -- blows EVERYTHING else away.
Maintaining many thousand of lines of code in it, so even if I find something better, I have to keep using it.
BTW, "cool" is only one reason for using an app. There are Windows apps I HAVE to run because my job requires them. Parallels allows me to do that, and is saving me lots of time and effort involved in carrying two machines around. Between Parallels and bootcamp, I'm down to one laptop.
I'm even using one app where there is a Mac version because the file formats for the Win and Mac versions are different and I need compatibility.
And lastly, to studiogeek, why on earth would you install Parallels and Windows if you don't have a use for them? I can't imagine taking the time to install such a complex package as an emulator and OS without a need -- there are so many other things to do that DO have a purpose.
