Recently I updated to the Snow Leopard, but I decided for a clean install (of course, again the last one).
I saved a list of all installed applications
ls -1 /Applications/ > my_apps.txt
in order not to forget what I used last week :) ..and here are the favourite ones:

	Caffeine, as a tiny coffee cup in the menu bar, keeps your Mac awake – no screen savers, screen dimming or sleeping – very useful during presentations, e.g. photos.
	Adium, an instant messaging application for Jabber, ICQ and many others. Easy to use, configurable, perfect.
	Skype, well known messaging and calling application.
	Unarchiver, opens various archives, but also supports password protected ones (not supported in the default Archive Utility).
	Quicksilver is an application similar to Spotlight, but with (different) useful features.
	iTerm a terminal with advanced features – my favourite one is the automatic text copy by selecting it. Yeah, I miss two clipboards from Linux.
	Growl is not an application that would be used directly. Rather I would call it a library that provides an unified and not intrusive way to show notifications of other applications.
	iSync support for Nokia phones – if you own a Nokia mobile phone and would like to synchronise its content with your Mac (and other devices such as iPod).
	MacPorts is a system that makes much easier to install open-source applications. I use it for managing command line tools (e.g. jhead) or my Ruby environment.
	AppCleaner for uninstalling applications.
	glims is a set of interesting features and improvements for Safari.
	OpenOffice, a bundle of office application – word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, etc.
	Transmission. Torrents? Transmission!
	VLC is a lighter, easy to use, stops-on-space and many comfortable features.. video (and audio) player.

Enjoy :)
