    Well when I just install OS X, there are a few programs that come to mind, but the most important is Quicksilver.

    Second, since I'm a big web dork, I get Firefox with all of my extensions (google browser sync, web dev toolbar, delicious toolbar). Then I grab my Textmate, Coda, and Transmit to make sure I can code on the fly.

    Then I bust out Unison for my newsgroups, along with MacPar Deluxe for putting together .rar files.

    Of course the Adobe Creative Suite comes into play soon. Also AppZapper is another on of my favorites. Disco is my preferred burning utility.

    That's about all I can think of. Here are some links to more 'essential apps':
