Software recommendations for a newbie

[MacFanUK]

Hi,
I'm getting my first Mac next week (a Mac Mini) and as I'm coming from the Windows camp, I wondered if you could recommend software for me?

I am a web developer so I will be getting Adobe CS4 (currently use CS3 on my PC), but what else could you guys recommend?

I do a bit of everything really: Photo editing/video editing/podcast making/etc so any software you could advise would be great - also, I will need a good FTP client.

Thanks

Cyberduck is my FTP Client. I'd also recommend Quicksilver

Duff-Man says...this question gets asked a lot, which is one of the reasons there is a sticky thread right at the top of this page that should give you a few good pointers.....oh yeah!

The best and I believe the most popular FTP client is Panic's transmit.
