I find I'm depending on Drush more and more for my Drupal development.
While my iMac is happy with Drush, as is our main dev server, I couldn't get it to work reliably on my MacBook until I found this lovely node: http://drupal.org/node/222611
Basically, I have some issue on my MacBook (unsolved, haven't spent the time) where localhost doesn't work properly and I have to use 127.0.0.1
So, by changing the database connection line in settings.php to point to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, Drush works.
Which is ace.
Although, I'll have to remember to do that for all my dev sites. Maybe I'll look into that localhost issue....
