Transmit for FTP (and more), with it you can directly work on a website with coda directly
Versions for SVN
Terminal for symfony command (you can also use the coda terminal!!!)
You don’t need to install MAMP, just enable the built-in Apache server and drag your work in the “Site” folder. I installed macport because I needed a more complete PHP version http://www.macports.org/

Apps for fun:
- Adium the best IM client

Stay away from Office and use your XP machine for that, it's amazingly slow on Mac. Just Textmate & Transmit, all you need basically.

Though they're very capable applications, you'll get 99% as much mileage out of the free and quite excellent Cyberduck and Smultron.It's also worth mentioning how great Quicksilver, Adium, and Growl are.

The title just mentioned Linux. I didn't notice the mentions about Mac until my second review. That would be awesome. I've got a lot of coworkers that use UE on Windows. They can do column selection, insertion, etc. That would be sweet. @alex : I saw the title of their blog post about UEX. The title just mentioned Linux.
