Overall, yes. You'll need to re-install MacPorts (just download the DMG from their site) and XCode (from the CD) afterwards, but other than that, everything (for me) works. Although the Java 6 JVM that comes with Snow Leopard seems to be quite a bit slower -- not sure why, yet. One caveat -- as I've heard, CS3/CS4 has some problems.

I've heard CS3 has issues as well, but given I don't use it… The reports that Cyberduck doesn't work correctly annoys me more.

  "The reports that Cyberduck doesn't work correctly annoys me more." You want lftp. As far as I'm concerned, it's the One True file-transfer program. And of course it's available in MacPorts (and even if it wasn't, it builds cleanly from source on OS X anyway).

    Transmit is my personal favorite, especially in a workflow with Textmate.

      Yeah but transmit isn't free, and I don't use FTPs enough to pay for it (though I paid for flashfxp on windows a few years ago)

  Cyberduck used to be good and then they added all those features.

  One caveat with MacPorts. Not everything is building properly. I had problems compiling libsdl (used by ffmpeg/VLC) and python26. There's a compatibility list here: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/snc/snowleopard http://trac.macports.org/wiki/snc/snowleopard. For people upgrading their MacPorts, be sure to not only grab version 1.8, but recompile your ports (if you want) so they're 64-bit.

  The reports that Cyberduck doesn't work correctly annoys me more There are Cyberduck beta's that work fine on 10.6, just hasn't been pushed to stable yet.
