best apple programs?
 

Last month i finally jumped into the world of apple. bought a macbook pro, and i just love it, i never get on my other 2 computers anymore at all.

i have gotten adjusted pretty well, but now just curious if there are any programs out there that i really should check out.

what apple programs could you not live without?

Adium (IM client)
Transmit (FTP)
Coda (coding)
Flip4Mac (play wmv)
1Password (password mgmt)
Gimp (like photoshop but free)

I am transitioning much slower than you but I would love to see what other apps Mac users love as well.

Nice list btw DateDoc. I love Gimp on PC...

I keep thinking about buying photoshop but for what i need Gimp being open source works perfectly. I may buy aperture this week.

Aperture is a good program, but iPhoto does a good enough job.
You'll need Transmission for torrents

transmission is good :2 cents:

I also use iWork 09 but that's a paid program.

seriously Im in love with my macpro & adium... running 9 messengers and with the newest version It never crashes - even when loading in 100+ icq messages over 3 different icq numbers ... gotta love it

Episode is great for encoding :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Why the fuck would you use a password management program when theres a built-in one in your system called keychain?

Yeah, I have been on macs since 1997... Never had a virus personally :)
I started with a 6500 PPC and now have a 2Ghz Widescreen Crazy Beautiful imac.

TextMate
Handbrake

Terminal! Learn to love it and take advantage of command line utilities :D

You will need VLC if you get Handbreak. Cyberduck is a FTP as well!

Cocktail is a good program to have.

thank you guys for all your ideas, going to start to check them out!

to add what the others have said...

MacTheRipper

Filezilla

Garage Band, hehehe

Calculator FTW!

I come from a unix background, terminal and firefox are my most used programs on my mac :thumbsup
