It also supports lots of protocols (AIM, MSN, Jabber, Google Talk, yada nada), and it's also free. I strongly suggest it! Instead of Fire I would suggest you also check out Adium.

Your list is exactly the same as mine with the exception of Seashore which I will quickly remedy and iTerm. On my side, I suggest SubEthaEdit and FreeMind. I'm guessing that MySql and Php are a given, right? We put Greasemonkey into Firefox to make it more fun.

Also, if you're just using console applications, check out <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/" rel="nofollow">GNU screen</a> (<a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935" rel="nofollow">short overview/tutorial</a>). As for iTerm ... I still use xterm with screen and a tabbed window manager. The only suggestion I have for Chicken of the VNC is to implement TightVNC’s extensions, which seem good and useful.

Is there a client for Linux and other Unices? Is there a server for other platforms? Chicken of the VNC is a VNC client. Wich means I can use it to control any (OS X, Windows, Linux, UNIX, etc.) machine has a VNC server installed... Yes but ScreenShare is not based on a standard, or is it?

I didn't try it yet, but it's free and it must be better that the "chicken of the VNC" which is not the best screen sharing program out there. My list contains also <a href="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html" rel="nofollow">SuperDuper</a>. The free version has only the very basic functionality. I find the full version very cheap and definitely worth its money. Check also this out.
