Here are a few thoughts:<br><br>1. MacVim or vim in general should always be installed on a developers machine. Even if you aren't a developer it ought to be on the machine. <br><br>2. OK this is obvious but you didn't list XCode. <br><br>3. I have mixed feelings about Eclipse but I do like it for Python development. <br><br>4. Installing one of the Tex distros is nice if you need that sort of documetation. <br><br>I'm on my iPhone at the moment so I can't say what else might be useful. To play around I do have GNU Smalltalk running with GMP support. It actually comes in handy from time to time. Also obvious is the need to have at least two and possibly more web browsers installed. <br><br><br>Thanks<br> Dave Nice list. Here are a few thoughts:

I'm a big user of vim as well, not a fan of macvim though. I missed Xcode probably because i installed it without thought. It's necessary for compiling misc apps. I'm not a big fan of Eclipse(because of it's size/complexity) but it's been the only way to effectively develop big java apps. Hey dave, thanks for the additions!
