Keynote for Mac. I love the fact it's so easy to use. And sometimes the mockups look so good you'll want to "lick them", to quote Steve Jobs. :))

I've spent a lot of money (mine and clients') on different tools, and I've settled on Keynote. It covers 95% of my needs and I don't have to manage yet another tool.

Being able to sit in a meeting wireframing on Keynote is wonderful. Factor in another $15 for the iPad app and I'm cooking with gas.

Meetings get super-focused quickly when the participants can immediately see output.

I usually upload it to Google Docs post-meeting for the remote participants.

Protip: Save your mockup files as themes so that you can get to them quickly and easily.

side note: good looking mockups are dangerous because many managers and stakeholders don't know the difference between mockup and real application. They think you're done.

cool -- you actually create your entire wireframe in keynote?

[plainOldText]

Yes. I do everything in Keynote. Then I'll pick up the colors I need and start coding the CSS part. And when I need some photo editing, I use GIMP.

Usually the mockups are better than the final product, because in Keynote 1. you can align everything so damn good 2. the font rendering looks awesome

And I suppose being able to add animation kinda helps as well.

Re:alignment, a CSS grid system can help!

I do. It's pretty easy with this: http://keynotekungfu.com/
