Hey, what about Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkExpress, etc. These what most of the graphic design industry uses. And most of these folks use Macs. With the new MBPs with Intel’s Santa Rosa chipset, I would add Parallels as another “application”

Quicksilver, can’t live without it. I also have to say that I like Mail.app better than Thunderbird and BonEcho better than Firefox.

No Neo Office there?

Ronny, Did try iTerm. The keyboard arrow keys were not functioning well. Need to remap the arrow keys.

QuickSilver! How can it not be mentioned? Hehehe… it’s one of the most important.

It’s so out of the way and works really nicely that we don’t remember until we need it.

I use Camino for browsing and Firefox only for development now.

MacFUSE+sshfs instead of Fugu.

Perian for video codecs instead of VLC.

Transmission instead of Azureus.

Other stuff that I use: Xee, iTerm, Google Notifier, WhatSize, last.fm, and a few other commercial software like vmware fusion.

Quicksilver..Killer apps too..

I didn’t know if Macports work fine on Mac-Intel or latest Mac version. I use fink for installing non-MAC-binary file.. But i prefer fink instead of darwinports..
