I love Octarine, from day one it's been right on the money in terms of balancing power and features with ease of use and thoughtful enhancements. The dev Rajat is super-active and engaged with the community, not to mention the dude's killing it on the product development side. I've been test driving tons of apps over the paste few months or so, and Octarine will be one of the 2-4 I stick with long term.
