I've switched to Mac too!! At least on my personal computer (It's sad I have no choice at my job).

Stuff I use:
- Chromium Browser (I keep it up-to-date with the build snapshots).
- Keynote (specially for presentations, it's awesome!!)
- Textmate (as my main text editor for web development in Ruby)
- Cyberduck (pretty neat to connect to AWS S3)

mesh also supports mac, but we use DB at work and its easier to use on mac
(one folder to drop stuff in) because of the system (not as much
folder-mongering as on windows). Mesh is also much nicer than live sync,
more detailed and great additional features for windows like remote access,
etc. Many features are useless or nto supported on mac, so i switched.

yea, congrats to a new life!
agree on everything, transmit rocks, chrome works fine now (except for password syncing). try textmate for plain text documents (especially for html, css files). and don't forget to mention Cloudapp….one of the best mac-only apps!!

Yeah, but it took out some of Mesh’s cool stuff, like easy management, it only has 2 instead of 5 GB, etc. Still, good to see them work on it, Mesh did not change much in the last 2 years.
