Hi, Nice list of apps – a few I’ll definately be checking out.
The link for Chax is wrong, though. It’s pointing to Adium.

To be honest, I really like finder, but sometimes I like a little more functionality and something a little different looking. I like the tabbed finder windows, and it can be very good for keeping clutter off of the screen:)

What don’t you like about Finder? I think its great. I’ll check out PathFinder.

All of these you do need by default. I might do a post about that.

Some of these should be filed under “Apps you NEED to have, PERIOD”.

VLC: c’mon, greatest media player EVAR!
Audacity: Anyone who’s worked with any audio has used this, I personally use it all the time.
Handbrake: The best DVD ripping tool out there IMHO.
Adium: nothing needs to be said here.
Coda: I can understand this, but if you code or do webdesign this is mandatory.

But I’ll have to check out some of the others. I know most of them but maybe I’ll find something fun-er…
