Someone’s OS X software list

Is it representative of most OS X users? Beats me. I’ve definitely got some catching up to do in 2005 - my dock’s pretty much Firefox, NetNewsWire, BBEdit, Transmit, VLC, Omni Outliner, Mail, Terminal and calculator - not the graphing one, the plain old regular one (the conversions are handy in this semi-metric world). There are some other apps (MarsEdit is under evaluation), but I really haven’t taken the time (ha!) to learn better ways of doing anything. That said, nobody at my (PC-based) workplace can understand how I get so much done in my free time. With the exception of Visual Studio, I can do pretty much everything faster on my Mac (although to be fair, I don’t have to put up with my boss interrupting me every five minutes when I’m at home.)
