Using the Preferences Menu you can set up hotkeys to map virtually any action you can think of to a single key or a combination of them. This is extremely helpful as it allows you to use shortcuts to edit commands you are typing in the terminal and while most terminal emulators have shortcuts for this sort of thing, few of them let you define your own.

One of the things to like about Homebrew is that it refuses to run things under sudo most of the time. This is a great policy, but it causes issues when you want to create symlinks or install in places that SIP has changed permissions on. (Alternatively, you could install Homebrew somewhere other than /usr/local, but that might break various packages that depend on having stuff in and relative to /usr/local/.) See More
Best UX ever (except in some corner cases). Some ppl don't like the non-sudo thing from a safety point of view or sanity or whatever, I personally like it (as I contribute to Homebrew, it makes things easier for trying stuff or messing with formulae with 'brew edit git' for example) See More
Macports seems to be able to get into a bad state where new packages are unable to be installed, or installed software was unable to be updated. This simply hasn't happened with Homebrew. In addition to not having to deal with corruption problems, Homebrew installs packages in userland. Not requiring root to install software is a big win. See More
One really nice thing about 1Password is that the passwords are stored in a file rather than being fed into a remote server necessarily (though you can sync via Dropbox or iCloud if you wish) This gives you a bit more control in how the file is stored, means that there's an additional level of protection in case your storage solution gets compromised, and means that there's no password-service vendor to distrust. See More
This app allowed me to find and focus on the largest folders when I was cleaning up hard drives to free up space. It lets me get the most bang for my storage buck. It demystifies what is actually taking up space -- letting you visualize clearly the largest space consumers. If you are manually cleaning up space, this is so helpful. See More
Sublime Text provides several features for making the editor itself comfortable to work with: Minimap provides a top-down view of the file, eliminates tunnel-vision Support for TextMate themes and window decoration themes Distraction-Free mode Vintage Mode - (vim-style editing) Everything is easily accessible from the keyboard. See More
Sublime Text, while being lighter-weight than an IDE, still supports many IDE features. Text from the current file is used to provide autocomplete Project Support (folder browsing, scoped history, build-system declarations) Refactoring support is emulated through multi-select, project-wide find & replace, and regular expression search. Syntax-aware selection and GoTo for quickly jumping to locations in the project. Snippets & Macros - A Python console for everything else. See More
Also is very specific on how a license can be used and has restrictions on the kind of license you own. Plus for the users you have spent the time and money for purchasing a license and registering it, each time the app is opened, it always asks you to re-enter your license. Although they have provided a workaround if you read the support documentation - which I added the excerpt in the source link. See More
Sublime Text supports a large number of languages and general text editing features out of the box, but its most useful feature is its extensibility - Sublime Text uses TextMate's syntax declaration files to support new languages, has all its menus and keybindings generated from JSON files, and can be scripted to add new features using Python. If Sublime Text doesn't support a desired language or feature, it's usually not long before someone implements it themselves - examples include the plugin package manager and the 'open in browser' command. See More
Although they make this seem very unclear while browsing through all the pages from each menu item. I can only see a reference from the main download page, then clicking on Sublime Text 3 Beta, and going through all the changelings below the download link (I added the excerpt within the source link).

Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create. Have Hazel move files around based on name, date, type, what site/email address it came from (Safari and Mail only) and much more. Automatically put your music in your Music folder, movies in Movies. Keep your downloads off the desktop and put them where they are supposed to be. See More
Everything you need to get a project started is included with CodeKit. Thanks to the professional support, different components of the workflow pipeline are guaranteed to play nicely with each other without you needing to do the research on how to configure them. More advanced features that may require extra configuration to set up with other workflow wrappers are set up out of the box in CodeKit, like automatic browser updating, linting, and source maps. See More
CodeKit has live updating built in and will update monitored files across multiple browsers and devices, and refresh CSS without a new page load. Other workflow wrappers have live updating, but they require extra configuration. With CodeKit, everything is set up for you so you can get it up and running in no time at all. See More
CodeKit has a clean and intuitive graphical user interface out of the box. Most other tools in this category run as command line utilities or require unsupported third-party plugins to run with a GUI. The CodeKit GUI makes it easier to navigate and manage the various components of your project with helpful UIs like dropdowns, and views that provide extra details without having to run a separate command.

Apple introduced a new security feature in OSX El Capitan, called System Integrity Protection, that, among other things, does not allow augmenting Terminal. While it's possible to turn SIP off (instructions on how to turn off SIP and get TotalTerminal working on El Capitan can be found here) it is not recommended. See More
You maybe know or don't know Quake from Id Software. But this game had the best idea to hide/show a terminal window. Simply using full width but 26 rows. On show the widow slid down from top of screen. On hide it mode up to top edge of the screen until it disappeared. 2nd next best was the semi translucent background. You could still see through the terminal window while it was shown. The same style is now available in TotalTerminal and iTerm2 (OSX Terminal replacement - no Terminal plugin). See More
