Yum! is still in development, but it looks like it's shaping up as the
best MC-Mac replacement. Features are being added, and smart typing is
in the current version, 0.5.3 (if by that you mean it it autocompletes
units and ingredients--and both are editable, like a user dictionary). I
wasn't crazy about the other recipe software I've tried, mainly because
it wasn't enough like MC-Mac.

Yum! also scales recipes, BTW.

I've played with some of the bells-and-whistle featutes of MC-Mac, and
stopped using most; I made much better wine suggestions myself, and I
often found the nutritional analysis of MC-Mac to be flat-out wrong.

Remember, this is version 0.5.3; the author looks like he's interested
in developing it. I already like how it works, so I've moved my
Mastercook recipes over to it (importing was very easy); I anticipate
great things for this application.
