Web Apps: a quick list to get started

Web: Blogging
MarsEdit ($30)
Popular blog writing tool.
NetNewsWire (Free)
Probably the best RSS reader available for any platform.
MacJournal ($35)
Another blog creation tool; appears to include everything but the kitchen sink.
Web: Browsers
Camino (Free)
My personal favorite. I recommend the 2.0 beta over the current stable release.
Firefox (Free)
Best known for its infinite number of extensions.
Safari (Free)
Included with Mac OS X; these days it's also available for Windows.
Web: Development
Coda ($99)
Integrated development environment for building web sites. Highly recommended.
Transmit ($30)
File transfer client. Supports FTP, SFTP & WebDAV.

Opera! Definitely agree. I used it on my Windows home PC (but used Firefox at work for reasons which now escape me), and as much as I tried to like Safari, little things just Weren't Opera, so I switched back.

And I also use Cyberduck! It does secure FTP as well, which is nice, given that's what my host allows.

I've had my Mac for less than a month so this community should prove pretty useful :)
