So I got a Macbook Pro. I *really* thought that I was going to miss my Gentoo Linux machine but I'm coping pretty well so far. Here are the applications that I am running at the moment (maybe the other Mac people out there will care). All are available for Intel and PPC machines.
- iTerm - I needs my command prompt
- Camino - purportedly the best Mac browser
- Adium X - because iChat isn't good enough
- Seashore - not Photoshop (Gimp for Mac)
- Vienna - free RSS/Atom reader
- OmniGraffle - one of my favorite Mac apps
- OpenOffice - sometimes I need to work on Word and Excel docs
- Sizzling Keys - create keyboard shortcuts that control iTunes. I love this thing.
- Growl - more unified notifications from my various apps
- Fink - because my command line needs dircolors, subversion, and pine.
- Mac the Ripper - for backing up (ahem) my DVDs
- CoverFlow - pretty cool eye candy for your music library (use Corripio to get missing album art
- Parallels - lets me run Windows in a window. A little slower than I thought it would be.
- Eclipse - programmery stuff
