Oh, true of course, especially from the big guns. But there was a flourishing ecosystem of great apps like Textmate, Things, Acorn, and a bunch of others from outfits like Omnigroup, Panic, IconFactory. These tended to fit beautifully on the platform, and not just in aesthetic terms, but functionally with reasonably consistent keyboard shortcuts, AppleEvents support, etc. Not perfect (what is?), and many of the longstanding apps are still around, but the steam has arguably gone out of the platform.
