There are some great applications here. Thanks for sharing.
I'm quite fond of Intaglio (http://purgatorydesign.com/Intaglio/) or (http://www.softpress.com/products/companion/int...). It's powerful but quite simple to get great great looking illustrations.

One more I like is Pencil. It's specifically an animation program but it can import AI Files, and I like how my wacom interfaces with it. Best of all, It's free

Here's the link

Here's one you left out. Maybe one of the best. WHY "Illustrator" isn't more like any of these is beyond me. Anyway:

@Andrew – thanks for the heads up on that one, must have missed it in my search. Looks like another great option for Mac vector artists.

I'll throw another contender into the ring: Opacity.

http://likethought.com/opacity/ has one nice advantage: you can export as source code, so you can create more flexible graphics for OSX or iPhone apps.

Wow, I’d have never guessed there were so many. Great post George.
