A list of software I use to make me feel more at home in OS X (for next time I reinstall...):
Adium (AIM, GTalk)
Cyberduck (SFTP)
DarwinPorts (UNIX apps for Mac; from source)
Display Sleeper (immediately put iMac display to sleep)
DoubleCommand (fixes some annoying keyboard issues, such as enabling PC-style home/end)
Firefox (web browser, can be extended with plugins)
- Vimperator (vim bindings)
- Adblock Plus (blocks ads)
- Custom Download Manager (stop download window from popping up)
Google Notifier (automatically checks gmail)
Perian (codecs for quicktime, make it usable)
Quicksilver (many-featured launcher, including a plugin for iTunes)
Spark (bind hotkeys to applescripts, iTunes actions, and application launches)
Terminal
- Terminal.app Tab Namer (Change tab names)
- Terminal Colours (fix that unreadable blue, adjust other colors to liking)
- Visor ("quake-style" terminal summoned/dismissed via hotkey)
TinkerTool (misc hidden OS X preferences, including disabling 3D dock effect)
VLC (play/stream video)
