What are some good code snippet managers for OS X?

A: 

Xcode 4 (currently in preview) includes a code snippet manager.

But Code Barrel is better and I think they are even working on a plug-in for Xcode... the url is www.codebarrel.com

Most popular apps for OS X are www.snippetsapp.com and codecollector. The first one is better in looks and features.

XCode 4 has snippets, but they can't be tagged or grouped, so it's not going to scale. They are presented as library objects with a combo to select one of three available categories: os x, iphone, or custom (you can't add more). Looks to me like a half-assed implementation.

I just visited codebarrel and eew! flash interface, register wall, free up to 25 snippets, no mention of exporting to desktop. Not the way to go these days.

I think Willow is worth a look, seems pretty full featured and I like how it works.
