I do not know what features you want, but if you can work with Text Edit, you might try iText Express. It is free too! [...]44_6Jan201117:22:[log in to unmask]

I really have to check this out all again because there is indeed subtle difference between Tiger and Snow Leopard in certain areas. Maybe cocoAspell will now work fine for me.

Today I found out that my old tagging software (SpotMeta, SmartComments, DropLight, BatchSpot'em and partly also TagBot) is not really compatible anymore with Snow Leopard, accessing tags with the context menu does not work anymore, etc. 

What tagging software can the list recommend?

As of now I've played a bit with 

1) Tagit
2) Punakea
3) Tags
4) Leap (and Yep, both very similar)
5) TagoMan


I welcome all comments and recommendations.
