Comments on: My top ten must-have Mac OSX applications http://www.unheardword.com/archives/2006/02/18/my-top-ten-must-have-mac-osx-applications/ Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:59:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Vicki http://www.unheardword.com/archives/2006/02/18/my-top-ten-must-have-mac-osx-applications/#comment-209 Vicki Fri, 14 Apr 2006 08:50:16 +0000 http://www.unheardword.com/archives/2006/02/18/my-top-ten-must-have-mac-osx-applications/#comment-209 Hi Peter, I worked full time on Windows, with OSX at home, until a year ago when I left to run my own business, and I know well what Windows is like, and I worked with many of the webdev applications. Some are quite good, I agree. I just prefer OSX and its applications. (I don't know TextPad, but Transmit runs circles around FileZilla.) Personal choice. To each their own, etc etc. :-) (Indeed, I have a Windows machine here too, but only use it for testing.) But... if it's many years since you looked at Macs, you'd probably love to have a look at OSX which is radically different to OS9 and below. I would not have "switched" to OS9, but OSX is different altogether. Admittedly, for the first couple of days I <strong>hated</strong> it and thought I'd made the most expensive mistake of my life — but now, obviously, I've changed my mind. :-) In any case, I wasn't intending to bag Microsoft, just to share my favourite OSX apps. :-) Hi Peter,

FileZilla is a very good FTP client. etc. etc. While I probably share your dislike for all things "Microsoft" you can't beat market share - 95% market share probably means 95% of developers are working on that platform. Regards, Peter PS: I got over my "Mac adiction" many years ago. Microsoft might be bastards, but Apple just pretend not to be.
