Top 5 must have apps!!

I've got about $300 in gift cards and trying to figure out the same thing.

So far, Aperture and DJay are the only ones that I am considering.

 

It's a mac pro thread, but it's pretty much the same topic.

Duff-Man says....threads like this come up so frequently. "Must have" depends on just what *you* use your computer for - so why not either give that info, or better yet, search through the links to software recommendation threads that's a sticky right at the top of the forum....oh yeah!
