A couple of things I noticed about the MacHeist 3 bundle [affiliate link] this morning:
Realmac’s Little Snapper is included. Last year’s bundle included Snapz Pro, a similar product from Ambrosia [though the annotation and web storage puts Little Snapper closer in spirit to a product like plasq's Skitch].
Espresso is a competitor of Macromates‘ TextMate [MH1].
Features in Acorn [and Picturesque to a lesser extent] sound a lot like Pixelmator, from last year’s bundle.
I am curious how developers from previous bundles feel about this. Not enough to ask them or anything — this isn’t Waxy — but it’s easy to see who isn’t bothered.
Ambrosia is apparently still on board, because WireTap Studio is included this year. Likewise for MacRabbit [CSSEdit] and Espresso. Boinx is a three-time MacHeist star, first with FotoMagico, then with iStopMotion, and this year with BoinxTV. And I just realized, RealMac is the maker of RapidWeaver from MH1, which could be considered a competitor of Espresso. [You could also note that FreeVerse (last year's WingNuts 2) is back with Big Bang Board Games, but it's not like you only need one game to do your job the same way you might only need one text or photo editor.]
Maybe I’m making a tempest out of a teapot?
