Coding & Development
I cut my teeth on BBEdit and the habit stuck, I guess.
Looking back, I wish I had forced myself to learn Vim but only for street cred.

Other
I am the first employee and designer of Quora.com.
If you watched me work from over my shoulder you would see Mail and a bunch of half-written emails, some finder windows pointing to various servers via ExpanDrive, Safari with several tabs (including Quora, Quora Dev, Twitter and TechMeme), Chrome with several tabs (Quora Dev and YouTube), TextWrangler and Adium with several active threads.
