Spam I am (part II)

Another spam:

Good afternoon, I have a good software

What good software do you have?

And if anybody knows of any good freeware/shareware/cheap software for doing shiny graphs/charts/etc on Mac OS X or Linux, that would be particularly useful right now.

Graphing:

http://plot.micw.eu/ (free) was quite nice last time I used it, but that was aaaaages ago; I'm using matplotlib to plot stuff for work, but that's a programming library. I quite like gnuplot, but it's cryptic as all hell.

Flot (http://code.google.com/p/flot) is alright if you need to do stuff on the Web. The YUI graphing thing's meant to be good too.

Good software: um, Textmate (finally won me away from Emacs)... Twitteriffic's quite nice. Most of the new software I use is web stuff these days, thinking about it. Started using Omnigraffle, it's nice, but it's hardly new. :)

Textmate is so good I paid for it.

I recently used gnuplot for the first time (for doing quick & dirty scatter graphs—the program also outputs detailed information which gets fed into Mathematica, but that's not my concern). It's not so much cryptic as … retro. There's just something about that reminds me of working with mainframes and time-sharing systems.
