What would I choose? To answer this, I have made a mission critical list of 25 apps in five categories. Also imagine that I am not bound to any historical file or data formats.
Well, there are over 250 items in my Applications folder, but how many do I need to remain productive? So imagine that I have a completely new Mac with no software (except OS and its standard apps). A reader has just challenged me to re-think the software I use for academic work on Mac.
