I have slowly started to move fulltime to OS X. As apps are released I replace my Classic versions with the carbon or cocoa versions. For example I have replaced Spring Cleaning, AOL (Don't say anything about using it, running the Beta now) and AIM (also in Beta) , also using IE under X. Also iTunes X and iMovie X Keeping at least iTunes for 9 until CDRW support is supported. It is nice to see the Apps current and some never before seen on the Mac now coming to the Mac. I know there are similar posts like this in the forum just thought I'd put a different spin and see what Apps people are using on there move to X.

Dangit!!! I'd use X darned-near full time, except for not having a way to get on the 'net (I have a contract with Compuserve, which isn't carbonized yet) and a couple of persistent oddities with Adobe apps...
Otherwise, the apps I like are:
Grab
Terminal
Appleworks 6
Chess (not perfect, but I'm a chess lover!)
Screensaver

...and I hope Adobe catches up someday as well as FREAKIN' COMPUSERVE!!!!!!!!!!

SETI@Home for Mac OS X is available. SETI just released a new version that is more compadable with OS X. Other versions were primarially built for the Public Beta.

It's still A LOT slower the the OS 9 version, and completely slows dow the OS, which means there's memory leaks and errors in the threading (Apple has it's own threading problems too... OS X Applications shouldn't slow down other Applications.). Hopefully future version will make this compadable.
