Mac software recommendations

Apps I use in OS X:

AdiumX - MSN

CyberDuck - FTP

VLC - Region Free DVD Player

StuffIt - Like winzip

TinkerTool - Tweaker

USB Overdrive X - Mouse Tweaker (good for disabling mouse accel)

X-Chat - IRC (I mainly use this because I've always used it in linux)

CoreTemp - Temp monitoring for core2duo/coreduo cpu's

PitHelmet - Addon for Safari, good for blocking adverts etc

Clutter - Allows you to put Albums on the desktop and interacts with iTunes

Gimp/Gimpshop - Free Photoshop Alternative

Flip4Mac - WMV support

MenuMeters - allows you to add stuff to the menu bar

Little Snitch - tells you if apps try to connect to the net (sort of firewall I guess, not tried this one)

& Obviously iLife :)
 
Cant believe I missed this thread...

equk has listed a lot of the apps that I used to use.

I also used Transmit for my FTP client, AppZapper for removing the entire contents of a program, SpeedTools for doing maintenance (defragging and such). Uhhh, let's see. I can't remember a lot more off the top of my head since I don't have my Mac to refer to any more :(
