What apps are essential for mac?
makecheck: Some of the things I use:- DragThing; you will never miss Apple's Dock, this is an absolutely essential desktop enhancement, e.g. to create multiple tabbed docks anywhere you want, with themes.- OmniWeb (now free); I've tried many web browsers, and I like this best.  Safari engine.- MacTelnet (tabbed terminal).  It now works for local programs and not just servers, so I use it instead of Terminal.- SnapzPro X (or alternatives), useful for doing more intelligent screenshots or video captures.- DesktopCalendar (by Takashi Hamada), a really nice use of space and very configurable.  Also has a menu option.- Growl, for pretty and unobtrusive notification windows.  This is actually really well supported by 3rd party applications.- SCPlugin, if you're a Subversion user; nice Finder integration.
