my OS X key apps: (Score 1)

My OS X 'must have' toolkit is a mix:

3rd party /shareware:

Transmit
BBEdit
NeoOffice
Chicken of the VNC
iPodRip
Indigo
Think

comments:Transmit is the best--I use it to sync content locally and across the network--hands down the best FTP. NeoOffice works great as an Office suite, Chicken of the VNC is a good remote desktop client, and Indigo, while the most expensive sw here, is the best software for home automation (INSTEON, x10)

bundled apps:

Safari
Terminal
AppleScript
Apache
PHP

comments: lots of great stuff included in OS X that can be easily turned on by changin some configs.
Terminal is a killer app!

Utilities:

Airport Admin Utility
Network Utility

notes: wrappers for command line configs, these make life easy.
