It lets you even run shell scripts on the found dupes. But then it works: It will show you exactly how similar the dupes are (you also can set thresholds), and it lets you even create symlinks – and even hard links – to the originals, before deleting the duplicates.

So please make sure you don’t misinterpret the rating system: Even a one-star app in this list is at least OK and can easily have a four- or five-star rating at MacUpdate. Thus the rating system here is shifted and more fine-grained. Here, it is rather different: Since the list is about more or less essential apps, crappy apps are not listed at all. That is because they have to list all apps, even the worst ones. On MacUpdate a rating of one or two stars usually means that the app is complete crap. Probably you are familiar with the rating system at MacUpdate or similar sites. If you have been here before, go to the bottom of the article to see if any apps have been added since your last visit.

So don’t forget to check back from time to time. Due to its nature the list is continuously evolving. This list once started out as my personal check list for setting-up a fresh Mac (and it still serves that purpose).
