Major thanks to the person who pointed out bestmacsoftware.org, which I hadn't seen before. That and the Apple Downloads site are the best places to start, since they feature the good stuff.

MacUpdate & VersionTracker focus on listing every application under the sun regardless of quality, so they're more useful as search engines.

I also included MacHeist just for reference, although it's not active right now.

Probably the best RSS reader available for any platform.

Included with Mac OS X; these days it's also available for Windows.
