I use both mac at work and pc at home and there's a few applications for the pc that I miss a lot in the mac, so this thread would be for people to say which application of one platform they are missing on the other and also to say what they found.
For instance, say I use pidgin on my pc and I find Adium to be a great replacement on the mac.
But I couldn't find any decent replacement for programs like foobar2000.

Winrar = unrar X
Paintbrush = Paintbrush(in apple.com) / Gimp
Picture viewer = Just looking (you can use arrow keys to see the next picture in the folder instead of opening and closing each one, you can also just press spacebar and use the proper OS X software)
I am still looking for something to write files in .txt, but as light as notepad (No word and etc) -

Textmate. The king of all text editors. Bow before its unyielding greatness.

Sorry about that.. -
NeoOffice?

Why would you need to specifically save in the .txt format? Any text reader out there should be able to read .rtf as well as many other formats.

Miss the apps for tweaking Windows and found OnyX for Mac

though for the average user, saving stuff in rtf will be fine across most platforms. nowadays .txt are mainly for specific apps and uses. but for the general user, rtf is probably fine if they want something that everyone can read (with some formatting) -
