I still remember Toast with Jam.... Loved the naming. Was useful when I burned a lot of CDs, but not so much anymore.

iMazing + ExpanDrive + Paragon Bundle make this worth the price.

Boom is dumb. OS X already comes with a system wide EQ. It's ugly as sin (hasn't been updated since OS X 10.3 or so) but it's buried somewhere in the OS. I forget where. I also forget its name. But it's there. Somewhere.
Um.. I don't use boom to handle my EQ, I use it to RAISE my system sound. I watch a lot of streaming content, and often the sound levels will vary greatly. I use Boom to raise low levels to acceptable. Yeah it has EQ settings, but I just keep it on MOVIE and only use Boom when watching content that I can't hear with my MBP volume all the way up.

I am intrigued by Sparkle. It looks really nice for making static websites.

But what about dynamic websites? Can I build a forum in it? A Q&A website like StackOverflow? An entire application?

Will it at least help with those things?
Take a look at this MW review from a few months ago. One of my friends and I tried it out, found it a bit lacking in features. The dev has a trial version FWIW.

Toast is an interesting leader considering most Macs don't come with an optical drive. Boom 1 abandoned its customers. Great software, but terrible service.

If you need file management more robust than the Finder, you can't do much better than Devon Think. If you are a student, buy it directly from them and save a few bucks. If anything else on this list peeks your interest you should grab the bundle. Unsure of DevonThink? Check their website for a 100 hour trial.
I still use toast fairly often, (External BluRay, DVD burnders) and just as often for disk images. I know I could use disk utility for disk images, but I have toast so I use Toast, I like customizing the disk images (how they open, backgrounds, etc.) and not sure if you can do that in Disk Utility.
