Mac users, what LJ clients do you use? There seem to be five-ish available and I'm not sure how to choose among them. (I will miss Semagic. We were pals.)

And now I am off to take a walk.

I used to use XJournal--keep in mind it's been a few years, and I abandoned it because it wasn't as stable back then as I would've liked, but I liked the interface and it may have improved since then.

I'll ask [livejournal.com profile] rilina and some of my friends what they use, and why.

I have no Mac help

I use iJournal and I like it a lot.

Right now I use XJournal. I wish it would track who's friended and unfriended you like Semagic did (because I am paranoid like that), but oh well. It's got HTML preview, picks up whatever music you're playing (I don't particularly care about this, but maybe other people might?), and I really like that it auto-updates tags. Semagic would keep all your old tags, even if you deleted them from your LJ, and it wouldn't separate tags used in different journals. Given that I am an obsessive-compulsive tagger, XJournal's features were nice.

Other than that, it feels a lot like Semagic and probably like other clients. Though I am usually a fan of text files, I like being able to do cmd+i and whatnot to italicize -- saves me a few keystrokes and means I don't forget to close tags.

XJournal also lets you search all the posts on your journal. That's a really good function if you have vague memories of having linked to something cool once, like I do.

When I was a Mac user, I alternated between XJournal and iJournal. XJournal's fuller featured, but less stable and hasn't been actively developed for ages; iJournal's stabler and in active development last I heard.

BTW, Camino is like Firefox but runs faster on a Mac. But it doesn't have as many features. But if you prefer speed to features, Camino is really great. (Me, I prefer features, but it was a wrench giving up Camino.)

And Vienna's a good aggregator for RSS feeds.
