`pbcopy` and `pbpaste` are one of my most-loved in the list.

Dealing with some minified json, switching to iTerm, doing `pbpaste | json_pp | pbcopy` and having a clean output is _so_ nice.

pb[paste|copy] are a life improver. Here is a one-liner to edit the pasteboard contents in vim.

  pbpaste > tmp; vim tmp; cat tmp | pbcopy; rm tmp;

I also use pbpaste to append various notes to files, but since pbpaste doesnt have a newline at the end I wind up using:

  echo "$(pbpaste)" >> notes.txt
