MAC Users - What programs do you use?
 

I'm currently running winxp on my macbook and it's smoooooth :thumbsup

I know, I act like a hypocritical heretic, running windows on a mac, but see some benchmarks here:

As I like osX as well, I wondered what programs you guys are using for daily business operations on your mac?

Hope to get some inspiration...

Office, Photoshop, BBEdit, Transmit, Applescript, Locomotive, TextMate.

Final Cut Pro

All the programs for mac come pre installed....

Final Cut Pro, Dreamweaver, Photoshop

obviously you don't use a mac

is bbedit better for html editing? haven't tried that hhee. what is locomotive, textmate and applescript?

i wish i could run windows on my g5 as well just for the sake of IE lol

I use BBedit for PHP, Javascript, Ajax, HTML - textmate for Ruby combined with locomotive (Ruby server), and applescript to make my workflow frikken slick.

Why aren't you just using Textmate for PHP and html/css? and isn't there a javascript bundle for Textmate? I haven't used BBedit for years, so maybe there's a reason to use it over Textmate.

Also, Rails == awesome. :thumbsup

Its on the commercials man...

I've been using BBEdit for donkey's years and so have grown to love its features - grep, tab lines, color code choice.

I've only recently been using textmate as it makes much more sense with its directory layout view for RoR...

Personal preference I guess

--edit, but yeah I agree, textmate is powerful as hell and coding is a lot faster what with its autocomplete shit and stuff. When I've gotten more used to it, I will probably shift, but for the moment, it's better the devel[sic] you know.

Pro versions are optional ...

IE? Better use firefox, mate! :winkwink:

cuyerduck for ftp and opera for surfing

TextMate, Firefox, /bin/bash :)

Tried a Vic20? It may serve your needs, and save you money.

The Contiki Desktop would help you achieve everything for less ;)

Running XP on a Mac is like using low grade gas in a high end sports car.

Was a joke to poke fun of the commercials they put on Tassy. :winkwink:

for what they point out in the commercial that you posted - yes - its possible not to get any additional software

the benchmarks speak a different language...

Wait windows runs photoshop better than a mac? And it runs it better even when its running ON a mac? GASP!!

The Universal Binary for Photoshop isn't released yet. Those stats are for the emulated PPC code (i.e. the pre-Intel compiled code) that runs under Rosetta in OSX on intel machines.

I believe there is a beta of the Universal Binary for Photoshop out.

But if I buy a mac I can make websites, and edit video.

That's true, but that small blue apple on top left is so cute :)
