I am blown away by the fit and finish of the apps that run on OSX. Not only the iApps, but the stuff that is available for both OSX and Linux.
Some of my favorites:
VLC - Video Lan Client - Its a media playe rthat is VERY simple and yet very robust. It can handle just about any codec out there, and is very easy to use. I like using it over iTunes for simple things like listening to streaming audio, especially online news/talk stations.
TrueCrypt - One of my favorite cross platform encryption tools. This is available for Linux, OS X, and Windows. Use it to either encrypt a whole drive/partition or a single file. Each is then decrypted and mounted as a filesystem. It supports many different encryption techniques and is very easy to use.
NoMachine Client - Use it to login remotely to my home Linux server. It uses the existing SSH server software on the Linux box to tunnel an X-Windows session to your client, so its very secure.
Skype - One of the most usefeul communications tools out there. Its a voice client, a chat client, and a VOIP phone.
Firefox 3 - Its, of course, my favorite web browser and probably always will be. I know, I know - Safari is not bad.
