If I'm reading Jordan Hubbard right, then he's my favorite hands-down. His speech hints at possible Cocoa integration through scripting languages. I know that Python, Perl, and Ruby all have Cocoa bridges, and I'd love to see these rolled into the OS. Even Tk support (which would also encompass Tcl) would be something.

My favorites are all the little guys who work on the OS but aren't the head of some division, so they don't get famous. The unsung heroes.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

My true favourite is the guy/gal who finally changed (I think) the way OS X handles permissions, so that the DVDs burned on my standalone DVD recorder would work on my Mac.

Betrand is cool, but his English is impossible to understand. Next time I go to WWDC I'm going to ask for the translation headphones.
