I’d add MacDraft Pro to that list of yours, Excel/Outlook as well, but I did give in, subscribe to Office, so we use the parts we need… I dropped back to Photoshop Elements, couldn’t justify the full PS… ChronoSync to keep my MBA somewhat sync’d to the main Mac… Reunion is my genealogy app, so many folks and their linkages in there… Firefox & Chrome are aboard, but rarely used, mainly for testing sites, if I have a problem… The rest of the game is with Apples Apps…
