Useful write up, Kees! My former colleague Robert Versteegh attended me about your blog-site.
One month ago I also switched to MAC, no regrettes and still happy!
The employers PC is now getting dust and I’m almost ready to bring it back.
I’m also considering to say goodbye to all my Windows PC’s and laptops, hello Apple!
Your list is also very usefull and some stuff I already installed and intensively in use.

In reply to Tim Arenz. Agreed. Omnigraffle docs make Visio docs look like elementary school drawings.

In reply to Dee Abson (@deeabson). You're right: "Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use" But somehow it still runs unregistered after a couple of months here.

Interesting article. I’ve often idly thought about a transition to MBP but haven’t yet been able to cross that justification line. Quick note for you, Sublime Text 2 is not a freeware application. It’s free to evaluate but requires a license to continue using.

Nice write up! I don’t think the MAC Network VPN option support OpenVPN which is what I’m using. I bought a really nice VPN Client called Viscosity. I like Sublime 2 as a text editor. I can’t say as though my MAC has completely replaced my PC as of typing this but I love the portability.

For Visio have a look at OmniGraffle (https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle). Its a really cool app for creating diagrams and in the PRO version it also supports import/export of Visio files.

In reply to Barry Schiffer. I'm still using those but with tinygrab I can instantly upload my images and share them via email instead of sending a high res picture.

Why arent you using CTRL SHIFT 1/2/3 or 4 for screen dumps.

Found some useful apps on your list:) thanks!

Nice article Kees, More or less the same reason i switch to Mac. Good to see that you are also using more or less the same list of programs i am using.

And also agree with you Bas.. Visio for Mac… Fingers crossed…..
