Not unless you give us some vague notion of what you want to do with it....

Been a long time Mac Pro user as a Photographer and Graphic Designer. Bought my dad the base 27" for Christmas with the upgraded 2tb fusion for the bigger 128gb SSD.
It is a fantastic machine. Really powerful, makes my 3.46 hex 2010 mac pro feel really old. (which it is). That screen too... amazing for photography.
Adobe CC works very competently, indesign a given as its not overly taxing but vast improvements for Lightroom no juddering and slow response with zooming and using targeted adjustments. Didnt play with the rest as its not my machine but its very capable.
Congrats!

I’ve received my new iMac recently...
First, I installed a few classic apps I’ve always needed (they’re free!):
The Unarchiver, Onyx, EasyFind, VLC, an alternative browser (Chrome), some help with calendar (ItsyCal), a “clip” manager (away from mac, don’t remember wich one), AppCleaner.

If you don't want to shell out for MS Office and 1Password, LibreOffice and Last Pass are great free alternatives.

I mean, we really don’t know what you plan to do with it.
Some third-party applications I love include:
