[maflynn]

In no particular order.
Safari, Mail, Gotomypc, Filemaker pro Excel, Vmware and iTunes.

 

[skaertus]

For web browsing:

Safari (my default web browser)
Google Chrome (some websites don't work well on Safari)
Firefox (some sites don't work in neither Safari nor Chrome)

For productivity:

Microsoft Word
Microsoft PowerPoint
Apple Pages (for simple text)
Preview (for reading PDFs)

For academic stuff:

Scrivener (for writing)
DevonThink Pro Office (for searching PDFs)

And also Parallels Desktop when I have to use Windows inside my Mac. And Pac the Man X, when I have nothing better to do.

[Watabou]

There are the apps that I always have open: Firefox (Nightly version), MacVim, iTerm, Reeder, iTunes.

Terminal - I usually have 6-12 instances running at a given time, some local, some running remote sessions.

Look into tmux. I used to have several terminal windows open but tmux handles multiple sessions, panes and windows and these days I don't open more than one terminal window. It's really, really cool!

 

[Tsuchiya]

Safari without a doubt, followed closely by Spotify, Word and Preview.

To think, I was worried whether I would need more than 8GB of RAM...

 

[S.B.G]

By far, Safari is the most used app. Then probably Mail.app followed by Tweetbot and iMessages.

 

[rocknblogger]

In no particular order:

• Alfred (never leave home without it)
  Safari
  Audition
  Wiretap Studio
  Soundboard
  Lightroom
  Photoshop
  Terminal
  Notesuite/Evernote - Still not fully sold on Notesuite
  Beamer
  Vox
  Air video - always running in background
  Splashtop - ditto

I'm in and out of all of these on a daily basis. Some are almost never closed

 

[trerep]

For me, without a doubt, 99% of my usage is Google Chrome.

I surf the web a lot (Twitter, Youtube, Khan Academy and Wikipedia for school, eBay for video games, etc)

The only other apps I really use are Mail, iMessage and iCal.

I sometimes also use notes, iTunes, Google Drive, and a few others like KeyNote.

I use Safari, Pages, Preview, Spotify, FaceTime, Photoshop CC and FCP X the most.

iMessage

safari and pages

i think an ipad air is far better for this kind of tasks....

i think many people who own a rmbp don't really need it
