Yippee!

I'll have a review later for everyone, in the mean time post me your favorite must have applications for the Mac.

Nice.

I found this site gives a nice comprehensive list of software for switchers

Check out the sticky threads in the Switcher Hangout as well. They're very helpful

This is what I have (others may be useless):

BBEdit - if you're doing programming/editing.
Smultron - Free alternative to BBEdit.
Chicken of the VNC and VNCServer - if you want to access your Mac from elsewhere.
AdiumX - for multiplatform instant messaging
MediaFork - for ripping DVDs/movies
Shrook - News RSS
MS Word/Excel/PPT/Apple Keynote/Pages - Word processing, spreadsheets, etc...
WhatSize - see whats clogging up your hard drive
monolingual - remove around 2gb of unused languages
Transmit - for FTP use
Armagetron Advanced - addicting game
Jumpcut - saves your pastes, so you don't lose them
Google Notifier - gmail notifier when a new email arrives, sits on the bar

Xee - image viewer

Browse pictures in the same folder. Very customizable.

The Unarchiver - self explanatory ;p
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html
Can unZIP/unRAR/un-almost anything.

Renamer4Mac - mass file/folder renaming tool
http://www.power4mac.com/renamer/index.php?page=description
Very useful if you're a neat freak and want to keep your files & folders well named. (Ahem... not me of course)

MenuMeters - CPU, memory, disk, and network activity monitor (in Menu Bar)
http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/
I mainly use it to see my upload/download activity. Pretty customizable.


Oh, and one last one in my signature. ;p (Click the "Development" link.)
