If you want to go native, this list of Mac counterparts might help you: Eclipse - There is a Mac version. UltraEdit - Coda or Textmate. SQLYog - Sequel Pro. WinSCP - Cyberduck, YummyFTP. Tons of clients. Check out ExpanDrive for some real fun. TortoiseSVN - Syncro SVN. Adobe CS3 - There is a Mac version. Camtasia Studio - Screenflow. MS Office - There is a Mac version. WAMP - There is a similar MAMP. Then again, you are running on a platform that has all those goodies pre-installed and ready-to-go! Anyone have some additional suggestions? PS: Virtualization has a cost associated with it. I only fire mine up for testing. Make sure you max out the RAM you get on the machine.

I would recommend Komodo edit (http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/komodo_edit.mhtml http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/komodo_edit.m...) over both Coda and Textmate. Mainly because it does almost everything they do (the only thing that seems to be missing is built in svn support), plus a great VI mode all for free.

I'd add Aquamacs if you are an emacs user.

  I'd advocate GNU Emacs over Aquamacs. He did say he's an Eclipse user though so this isn't likely an issue.

  Personally, I prefer GNU Emacs (aka Emacs.app) over Aquamacs. I have a rather large .emacs that's followed me faithfully from Solaris to Linux to Windows to Linux to Windows, and Aquamacs refused to work with it. I spent about a week trying to get them to work together, but gave up and switched to Emacs.app and got everything running in a day. So, just a warning. Aquamacs is fine for simple .emacs, but might throw a tantrum if you want to do things like have a non-standard color scheme or keep your .emacs OS and Emacs version independent.

Instead of looking for an (S)FTP client, you can use FUSE and just mount the remote servers. Writing your own FUSE file system isn't all that hard either, I'm currently hacking together one that allows me to mount my MySpace developer account as a disk to edit things directly :)

I use CocoaMySQL, Dreamweaver, and Transmit.

With Fusion on a 2.8Ghz iMac, I don't see any particular slowdown running WinXP vs running native.

Might want to use iWork (Word->Pages, Excel->Numbers, PowerPoint->Keynote) instead of the Mac version of Office. I have Office 2008 for Mac, but rarely use it. It's much easier to use iWork or Office 2007 for Windows through VMWare Fusion.

  If you're going to learn a new office suite (and even MS Office for Mac is going to feel different), use OpenOffice. It's exactly the same where ever you go.

I like Transmit for FTP/SFTP. It's worth the price. I also like iWork over Mac Office. If someone really needs 100% perfect Word documents, the company can buy it.
