Application Menu alternatives

I love OS X, but I also like switching between applications in the top-right corner. Are there any 3rd party utilities that are compatible with Jaguar and can act as an Application menu replacement? Or are there quicker ways to switch using the system as it is?

There are many; search on VT for "switcher" or "application menu" and you'll find a number of them. I like ASM.

Thanks, Rob. I ended up downloading Quitling and am testing it out now. It has a couple of extra features, and my first impression is that it's really good.

Re: Application Menu alternatives
Is command-tab something you're unhappy with, for some reason?

Yes, it only switches between Safari and Mail, for some reason, whatever other applications I have open at the same time.
By the way, though I'm sad England lost, that was a great run you did in the World Cup!

Re: Application Menu alternatives
I like Program Switcher, included in Keyboard Maestro, by Michael Kamprath. Find it on VT.

It gives you a small window, with running applications, that you access with Opt-TAB, or other combination that you choose. You can also choose to exclude certain applications that run in the background.

keyboard Maestro is a macro program.

Doesn't compare to what Vieri did.
