Essential Mac Software

Just put an order in for a new mac.  I''m coming from windows so
I''d be
interested in knowing what software you guys recommend.  Here''s the
essential software I use on windows for comparison.  So far TextMate is on
my must buy list.

Rails Editor:  RadRails
FTP: FileZilla
Actionscript Editor: FlashDevelop
CVS/CVN:  TortoiseCVS/SVN
Diff Tool:  WinMerge

Re: Essential Mac Software

Editor: Textmate
FTP: Transmit - its not free but there is no better FTP client.
Terminal.app - some people favour iTerm because it has tabs but you can
get around this by using Screen. I like Terminal because I think the
font rendering is better, its faster (iTerm seems clunky) and you can
use the cool Visor addon for a Quake-style dropdown console.
Subversion: I use the CLI.
Diff: Unix diff - Textmate has a good Diff mode for color coding.

Other essentials: Adium for IM, Parallels for testing in IE, and the
absolute essential - Quicksilver, for launching and much more.

SVN:
svnX is OK.  It''s nothing amazing, but it works.  Command line svn is
good too.

MISC:
If you need to build clean diagrams easily (object models, etc.),
OmniGraffle Pro[1] is really good.  I use the Pro version, because of
the tables feature.  Next to TextMate it''s my favorite piece of
commercial Mac software.  Worth every penny.

I''ve also been messing around with the free version of Jude[2] for UML
diagramming.  It blows ArgoUML[3] away, but OmniGraffle is still my
preferred app for cranking out a quick and good looking diagram.

I''d like to suggest two other essentials -- well, one essential and one
very nice to have:

* SuperDuper -- backup and recovery software
www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html

* clix -- a "GUI command-line tool".  Since you''re new to the
MacOS,
what''s *great* about this program is that it shows you the shell
commands (or, it''ll run them for you) for some Mac-specific goodies.
For example, there''s a command to turn on Safari''s hidden
Debug menu;
change the scrollbar settings on the default Aqua GUI to display
double-arrows; list and clean-out all those annoying DS_Store files;
etc.  Very handy reference, methinks, and it''s free.

Rails Editor:  TextMate
FTP: command line
Actionscript Editor: I don''t
CVS/SVN:  command line
Diff Tool:  FileMerge (part of Xcode tools)

I''ve been using this stuff for 15 years (ie, I''m a NeXTie, not
old-
time Apple), and you need third party add-ons a lot less than you  
might think, as a Windows user.

However, honourable mentions go to OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner (some  
combinations of which ship with new Macs), and the only addition I  
would make is Keynote for presentations.

Looking at my Dock, I also have and use regularly: Openbase, Eclipse  
(sorry, Java pays bills), Chicken of the VNC, YourSQL, SpamSieve, and  
WoW.

Re: Essential Mac Software

X11 (from the MacOS X install disc)
Fink (fink.sf.net and use unstable), and use it to install:
	ruby                   working version of the interpreter
	ruby18-dev             headers for native gems
	svn-client-ssl         subversion client
	vim                    editor
	postgresql80-ssl       RDBMS
	postgresql80-ssl-dev   headers for native postgres gem
	(alternately: mysql and mysql-dev)
	imagemagick            image manipulation
	imagemagick10-dev      headers for native RMagick gem
	gaim-ssl               instant messaging
X-Chat Aqua (xchataqua.sf.net) for IRC (yay, #rubyonrails and #ruby-lang)
You Control: Desktops (www.yousoftware.com $30) for virtual desktops

Firefox is a no-brainer, and so is RubyGems. I''ll second Parallels for
testing in IE. I prefer vim over Textmate, xterm over Terminal.app, and
gaim over iChat, but YMMV. I cannot stress enough how worthwhile You
Control: Desktops is; I dearly love virtual desktops, and You sells an
excellent implementation thereof for a very reasonable price.

Fink is a package manager. Much as DarwinPorts derives from the FreeBSD
ports system, Fink derives from the Debian apt system. I prefer it largely
because I am more comfortable with Debian than FreeBSD. Again, YMMV.

Re: Essential Mac Software

I didn''t see anyone else mention it, so I''ll say it myself:
Thunderbird over iMail. I gave iMail a chance, I really did. It''s just
way too basic for my needs. I''m using Thunderbird for my corporate
mail and continuing to use GMail for personal.

Poke around for automator workflows to handle archiving stuff as
well...I found a pretty nice one that gives a right-click "zip"
action. I''m making it my personal quest to avoid Stuffit, because it
seems too "old world" for me and I can''t imagine paying for
archiving
software these days.

Re: Essential Mac Software

Oh man, I have SO MANY!

Most of them have been said, but I''ll reiterate them anyways.

AIM:  Adium (bad with file transfers though, use iChat for that)

IRC:  Colloquoy

**Quicksilver is a must!!!!**

Desktop Manager (for having multiple desktops, switch between them with
cool gui shifts... example being you have four desktops, and you rotate
around a cube to show different desktops)

SVN:  ZigVersion (still in beta, but it''s very simple!)

SQL:  CocoaSQL (very quickly and easily view your database from this
amazing program)

Acquisition + Azureus for P2P

Audacity for Audio editing

Chicken of the VNC for WinVNC

FinkCommander for getting your favorite ''nix flavor program ports!

iEatBrainz for automatically entering ID3 tags for MP3s

iLinkPod for grabbing MP3''s off of your iPod

MacStumbler for checking Wireless activity (strengths, etc)

Toast 6 Titanium for all things ISO/Burning etc.

***IMPORTANT:  VLC for all video playback!***

FTP:  Transmit

File merging:  OSX has a built in file merger!!! FileMerge (c''mon mac
guys, how''d u miss this one)

Database graphic design:  OmniGraffle (so simple and powerful)

__________Widgets_________
SysStat
SeeSS
CSS Cheat Sheet


Congratulations on switching!  You''ll never go back!  You''ll
be an
apple zealot soon enough...

Re: Essential Mac Software

I would say:

Rails Editor:  Textmate
FTP: Fetch
Actionscript Editor: bedit
CVS/CVN:  cli
Diff Tool:  bbedit
X term: Mac OSX X client

If you program and work with *lots* of files. Nothing beats bbedit for
text editing function. Textmate is awesome for Rails and Ruby and it''s
macros are way productive. But it still doesn''t have the level text
manipulation that you can get in bbedit. Things I miss when I work in
Textmate are grep, batch find and replace entire directory trees, diff
between files, diff between directories - recrusively, subversion
client built in, and man many more. I use both though. Textmate gets
more and more use every day and bbedit is just there when I need it.
bbedit - it still doesn''t suck.

If you work with MySQL databases Navicat is a must have. The best db
tool for MySQL I''ve seen.  If you work with Oracle there is a free tool
called SQL Manager you can download from there site.

Locomotive for quick Rails testing and development on my laptop and
when not connected to the network.

If you need to connect to ldap servers for queries you basically have
the cli or this older Java tool called LdapBrowser.

But I think I''m going to install Paralells so I can run
LdapAdministrator.

I wish Adobe would stop sucking us dry.....I found out I''m going to
have to buy all new CS apps and Studio apps for Intel universal
version. Right......thanks Adobe for milking me for another $2k.

Re: Essential Mac Software

Hi, Adobe hasn''t released Universal Binaries for both their CS and
Studio applications.  This is expected in the next major release of
these apps.  However, these apps run very well in emulation mode.

Re: Essential Mac Software

+1 Textmate
+1 Transmit
+1 iTerm (be sure to be the latest Universal one.  Very fast plus tabs)
+1 Parallels for IE testing (there is an OS WINE project to get the 
various IEs running within OSX but I haven''t been able to get it up and
running yet).
+1 X11 on developer tools (required for OpenOffice and the WINE stuff)
+1 OmniGraffle and Outliner
+1 YourSQL (make sure you get the MySQL 5 compatible version if needed) 
but I only use MySQL through Rails apps, so I rely on Rails for most 
functionality and only peek in to check on changes.
+1 VirtueDesktops  Great desktop manager with cool effects.

There are also some Dashboard widgets for Ruby and Rails.  It''s worth 
having those available.  I also have many Ruby and/or Rails books in PDF 
form so I can quickly search them and copy code.  Great for working 
while traveling or limited net access.  Also, Apple''s Preview flies for
PDF viewing.

I have not seen a must have mail or svn client yet.  There are options, 
but not seem really great.  I will look into Thunderbird again but 
recall its interface was a little clunky.  I tend to use the web for 
accessing emails and Apple''s Mail to archive them.  Anyone use the 
BareBones mail client and like it?

BootCamp [1] if you are willing to reboot, or Parallels [2] if you  
want virtualisation. I use parallels to run a couple of windows  
installs (for different versions of IE) and linux.

There is apparently going to be a vmware release for the mac too, but  
I''ve no idea when that''s coming.

Diff Tool: TextWrangler

FTP: I''ve heard Transmit is the best, but I use CyberDuck

Other applications I consider essential for Rails development, or for

Terminal: Terminal (you might give iTerm a try, but I found it to be

File Manager: Path Finder [http://www.cocoatech.com/]. The Finder, but 
tabbed! Also has advanced preview and info windows, a "drop stack" to

Re: Essential Mac Software

Yes, I know all of this. But the point I''m making is I will have to PAY
for the UB in CS3. Which will be around another 500-1k. Which kinda
stinks since I just bought CS2 and Studio not even a month ago.

Thanks,

Are you planning on using WinMerge via Parallels?  It''s pretty clunky 
that way.  I love it better than any current merge tool for Mac, so I 
keep a networked Win XP PC next to my mac to do the merging with 
WinMerge.  I am also about 1/2 way done with a Cocoa replacement for 
WinMerge that mimics its layout and methodology.  If you have found a 
better way to run WinMerge on a Mac besides Parallels, then PLEASE let 
me know!!

The best file merging tool I have ever used is actually gvim -d (a.k.a.
gvimdiff). It lets me edit two files, side-by-side, with a live
syntax-colored diff in my favorite editor. I can move text from one side to
the other trivially, and see character-by-character differences (e.g. lines
that are almost the same except for a word or two will show exactly where
in the line they differ). Even better, it''s available on all major
platforms (*nix, Mac, Windows), so I don''t have to give it up or run
another OS in emulation if I''m on a platform I don''t usually
use.
