Are you sure about Quicktime?? (Score:5, Informative)
The boys at Ars Technica seem to think differently. See what's really changed [arstechnica.com] with Quicktime.

Man. I really wish we could get critical reviews.
Try this one [arstechnica.com] from ars technica, if you haven't already. It's fairly detailed, and not as amateurish, nor is it worshipful.
Meaty goodness.

There's no review you need for a new OS X release except for John Siracusa's work--I don't know how this joke of a review got recommended on the front page instead. There should have just been another article on Siracusa's review, even if it was a dupe--it's that good.

It's not all completely positive, either. This is my favorite:

Grapher was Curvus Pro before (Score:3, Informative)
I think I mentioned this here at the time, but presumably as a rank-epsilon anonymous coward
Curvus was already excellent at the time (I am a registered user), and it seems Apple has added some honest improvements, at least a couple of extra buttons that are really useful in the GUI and other features that I didn't try in detail yet (for instance, Curvus handled copying -to export- in a variety of formats, of which vectorial pdf, but this had the effect of turning it uncompatible with old apple SW like Appleworks, maybe Grapher solves this)

I went to their website a few months ago and they have a Carbonized version -- looks pretty much the same as it always did. I didn't buy the commercial one, just played around with the free one. But it still exists if you're in the market.
