There are a few ad-blockers for Safari now, though there’s nothing quite like AdBlock Plus for Firefox.

As of Leopard, iChat has tabs for conversations but you still have one window per account. e.g. If I sign on with Jabber and AIM, I get two contact lists.

I’ve been using Aquamacs Emacs since I switched.

Cmd-< / Cmd-> Doesn’t switch windows for me.

Hi, i know the page’s old but:

Safari has an adblocking plugin, jsut look with google, free and efficient.

ichat has seperate windows if you awnt or the one window with everything, indeed you have the choice ;)

good text editor on the mac: textmate ( you’ll need years to get all it can do )

finder and hidden files, learn to go to preferences on the mac, finder has preferences and it has one in the last tab abot hidden files ;) either command , or command j for the presentation panel

and the last one you got corrected seems weird to me, try command < or command > to switch windows ;)

Hope i could help :)

– You can download an ad blocking /etc/hosts file that will block ads in Safari.

– You can download iTerm and AdiumX to have tabs in your term and chat client.

– What? VIM is no good? Also, you can run Kate with X Windows and fink.

have you tried textwrangler (free), from the bbedit folks? i haven’t had a chance to try it myself. i don’t know if it has all the features you need though.
