One of the reasons I love OS X is that everything is thought out. One quick example of this is something I learnt a couple of months ago on one of my very infrequent visits to Digg, in any Cocoa or Carbon application, hover your cursor over a word and hit Command+Control+D.
Instant access to Dictionary.app without opening it, presented in a very user friendly way, with links to see other information such as from a Thesaurus or Wikipedia.
