I recently got a new laptop for work, and had to install a bunch of stuff. For what it’s worth here’s what made it in within the first couple of days:
- 1Password
- DropBox (these two together are literally the first thing I install)
- Evernote
- Quick Search Box (QuickSilver replacement; either is fine for what I do)
- Skype (Needed for work, for personal IM I use Adium with the Skype plugin)
- TextMate (with AckMate)
- TinyAlarm
- Xmarks
- XSlimmer (because of my OCD)
