I have been a Mac man for almost ten years now, and though many Web developers swear to working on a PC, I find my Mac has everything I need to develop, design and program Web sites. Luckily there are tons of great free apps available to help any developer work more efficiently on their Mac.

Here is a list of 10 great free Mac apps for Web developers that I use:
