I refer you to this question which you should have searched for before posting.
Adium. Firefox. NetNewsWire. Quicksilver. iStat menus.
Firefox, NeoOffice, Transmission, Handbrake, VNC.
Carbon Copy Cloner. CyberDuck. Colloquy. VLC. Perian. (extension for quicktime)
I asked the same question
Adium Quicksilver Open Office (for work/school etc) VLC ScreenFlow
All of them work great and are all free.
I second Firefox.
Not included apple products i’m gonna go with Fluid Cyberduck CSSedit Transmission The Unarchiver
I second Fluid.
D’oh I saw QuickSIlver and thought mixmaster client.
Oh thank you all, you really understood what I wanted, an “updated” list of Macintosh apps and just your 5 best ones! Thanks a lot!
I think quasi-duplicate questions aren’t a real problem given a topic that changes this fast.
My five are Adium, VLC, Handbrake, Jumpcut, and SimpleMovieX.
