Regarding above, there's a couple bloated programs you'd want to get rid of: Acrobat is entirely useless. Apple's Preview.app (default for pdfs in OS X) is 5000x faster, and since you're using a MB Air, you also have quickview installed -- just click on a pdf / mp3 / jpg / doc / etc and hit spacebar. Azureus is also bloated, Transmission.app is a good alternative (kind of the OS X equivalent of utorrent) Otherwise it's a decent list Quadz, what’s with the sub-par posts lately?

It's often unresponsive and it's quite easy to move a file accidentally to a folder next to it. I appreciate it's free, but Transmit is a better choice. Not ideal, but better, if you have to be a productive web developer. ;> Try to edit larger quantity of files with Cyberduck.

I made the switch myself in November. CocoaMySQL - handy for dealing with my local install of Mysql (free) Chicken of the VNC - lets me VNC into my Win boxes fast and easily (free) Password Gorilla - manages and encrypts all my passwords (free) TextMate - best editor (besides notepad++ of course) I have used. This is the ultimate editor for any programmer - since thats who it was built for ($$ but worth it) Transmission - BT client but not near as heavy or bloated as Az iStats Menu - beef up your menu bar with some useful stats not to mention the calendar function alone is worth installing it (http://www.islayer.com/) cheers X-Chat Aqua - best osx IRC client I could find Some other useful programs I have run across..
