What programs do you use? and can everyone recommend programs ?

Perhaps be more specific?

Ok umm im not sure Programs you think are good and you recommend people to use them maybe ?

I use / have uses all the coffecup software, its very nice...I usually customize the images and stuff to make it my own
Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS3 - None Needed
Mozilla Firefox - None Needed
NOD32 - Anti Virus
Zone Alarm - Firewall / Spyware / other stuff
Hypercam - Screen Recording
Live Help Messenger - Live Support
wampserver - Testing stuff...
Itunes (not because its good but because of Ipod)
WinRAR - Achiever / Compresser
Hamachi - Hard to explain...makes a LAN between people on internet basicly
Hide IP Platinum - Program that finds proxys when I need
Xfire - Gaming program that tracks my gaming
Thunderbird - Email client
FileZilla FTP
Last.fm's program thing lol
AIM / YAHOO / Windows Live Messenger - Talking to my homies xD
(only Windows Live is uses all the time...the others are just if I need)
Windows Live Plus - Add on for Windows Live Messenger
Voipwise - Kinda like Skype
SCAR Divi - Macroing ingames and on other sites
Mother Board Monitor - Idk...Thought it looked cool but I haven't messed with it much lol

I don't use all of those regualarly but those are ones that I have installed that I remember...so I guess I have at least used them a bit lol...

haha cool

whats that Motherboard Monitor?

Added descriptions lol

I don't really use a lot of programs and I have tired to cut down on lots of different programs to do different things,
but basically:

Safari - Web browser
Photoshop CS3 - Photo editing
iPhoto - Photos
iTunes - Music (and yes, I think it's good)
Mail - email
Final Cut Express - Movie Editing (Still learning)
Coda - Coding
Transit - FTP
Adium - msn/aim/gtalk
Colloquy - IRC
Acquisition - Torrents (Need a new one for this tbh) / Music downloading

Then other smaller ones like last.fm, Photobooth, Address Book etc.

Itunes is laggy, I just want to open my music player and listen...I dread plugging in my ipod because it takes like 20 seconds of lagg for this sad excuse called Itunes to open...Even if I open if before I plug ipod in it laggs...

True it is pretty slow on a PC, when I used it on my PC it used to annoy me; but on my mac it is a lot faster, has never frozen and I have never had a problem with it...
Apple never really code anything that works 100% great with a PC.

tis' a shame since pc's are used more...and It is sad that I have tried opening it with 1024MB RAM and a decently average pc...with nothing else open and it still was slow, Its almost like Apple made it slow on purpose

Don't Microsoft just leave Mac on archaic versions of their software, Internet Explorer for example?

The most frequently used GUI programs I use are as follows (on Linux, KDE):

- Firefox - Needs no introduction
- Konqueror - My file explorer
- Konsole / Yakuake - My terminal emulators
- Kate / vim (tends to be vim not gvim) - My text editors
- K3B - For all my CD / DVD burning needs
- Amarok - Probably the best audio player in the world
- Kopete - For MSN
- XChat - For IRC
- VirtualBox - Runs virtual machines, useful for testing live cds or running windows based applications
- Wine - For windows API translation; Gaming mainly
- ManDVD - Create DVD's with menus and all sorts of fun stuff
- The GIMP / Virtualboxed Photoshop - For graphics

I'm fairly sure it's partly because no sane person on a Mac wants it, just like no sane person on Windows actually chooses Safari or iTunes except out of necessity.

I use a lot of the apps in the above list, but no virtualisation at the moment, I use Konversation for IRC rather than XChat, tend to use nano over vim (largely due to lack of effort in learning all the commands, maybe if I got a cheat sheet). Others:

- Thunderbird
- Kopete - for MSN
- A few games: CoD1 and Neverwinter Nights 1 mainly
- OpenOffice - for office functionality, since I've tried KOffice but cannot get used to the interface they use.
- MPlayer - for DVD playback

Favourites are easily some of the ones said by Bread though: Yakuake, Kate and Amarok are all awesome.

Jacob.

How come all those programs on Linux start with a K?

Or is it just what all the cool kids are doing these days?

I use: khotoshop, kreamweaver, klash and kireworks (Still on CS2.)

The 3D stuff is Cinema4D and lots of utilities; UVmapper, 3D-Coat, HDRShop... and lots of others

At the office its MS Office but at home I've switched to Open Office and Thunderbird.

3D at home (as a hobby) is also strictly freebies only, currently DAZ Studio, if I used Cinema then it would be just like being at work

yes....

Also i just got

Adobe Premier CS3 & After Effects.

next ill be getting a Mac Pro with Final Cut

Blimey, expensive... but apparently AWESOME if you are into all that.. which I gather you are of course!
