Matthew S. Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 So I'm pretty much know what I use on Windows and Linux now I need a set for OS X... so I need replacements... Development: Notepad++, I'm personally going to go with TextMate as I've used it before :) msysgit, it's a GUI frontend and installer for Git on Windows. I would prefer a GUI not just the gitk that comes with git. This is a must! TortoiseSVN, an SVN Client, I'll need one but not as badly as the above. putty, I'm pretty sure OS X includes the ssh command line app right? WinSCP, I have no idea here, I would prefer an SCP client over an FTP client... (I've just gotten so used to using WinSCP that I got lazy) I use Quicken for my fiances and I'll need something to replace that.. Now whats the consensus on Office:Mac 2008, is it good is it better to go with iWork? Is anything like Alcohol 52% needed for mounting or is that built in? Burning software... I use Nero 9 on Windows... what about Mac? Oh yes no need to mention bootcamp, but that's only if I'm desperate :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakes Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I would definitely recommend going with Coda to replace Notepad++. Although Textmate is really nice as well. I've also played around with CSS Edit + Espresso To replace putty, you can easily just use terminal that's included with OSX.. That's what I use right now although I'd take suggestions from other people as well. :) Versions for SVN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistical Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 As Cupcakes said go with Coda for a Notepad++ replacement or if you do not like Coda go try SubEthaEdit or Espresso. You can use SSH inside of Terminal. Works perfectly, best I found. Cyberduck also has the ability for it and SCP if I recall correctly too. For subversion clients try Versions, Cornerstone or xcode.

Rudy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 For WinSCP, any sftp client will work (sftp and scp are the same). Image mounting is built in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysaor Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Textmate (or BBEdit) GitX Versions Terminal (built-in) Transmit There are no good Office suites for Mac imo, Office 2k8 is probably best among them. Mounting and burning is built-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew S. Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Oh yea forgot to mention something to replace 7Zip lol Don't forget we have a thread for this, too. :)https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=571489 You have personal experiences with my lazy-ness :p Plus arguments ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blachole Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Oh yea forgot to mention something to replace 7Zip lolYou have personal experiences with my lazy-ness :p Plus arguments ;p Try The Unarchiver: http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted January 20, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 20, 2010 If you're willing to part with cash, BetterZip is your best bet for the only decent Archiver on OS X. All the others have features missing. You won't find an archiving app which can open split files, open all password protected files, view archives without extracting, and create archives.. all in one app. Except that one. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew S. Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 ^ unarchiver can :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted January 24, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 24, 2010 ^ unarchiver can :p Unarchiver just unpacks archives (hint: the name of the app :p), it won't let you create archives, and it also has trouble opening most password-protected files. Unless it's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Since no one bothered to answer you about Quicken, you'll be pleased to know that there is a version for the Mac as well. Moving files from the Windows to the Mac version (and vice versa) can be a pain though, unless they've changed it in the last couple of years. I haven't used the Mac version in a while. There is a new version coming out next month, the previous version is 2007: http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/mac-personal-financial-software.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 and it also has trouble opening most password-protected files.Unless it's changed. Haven't had any issues here. Next to that the Unarchiver is a free application. If it turns out it isn't adequate no harm and you can always look at other (paid) applications.
