Rachel,

I use Linux at work, and Mac with a bit of Windows 2000 at home.

I love being able to ssh into linux/unix boxes from OS X and have X apps display on my desktop.

The missing piece in the Mac puzzle for me, though, is a decent personal finance app. I need one that not only imports from Quicken/MS Money (which I’ve been using for about 6 years) but functions in a similar way.

Textwrangler is a free text editor from Barebones, maker of the seminal BBEdit, and it’s been getting good reactions from the community by all accounts.

All the best with your decision!
