well.. I hate widgets with a vengeance, so I'd recommend menumeters instead: http://www.ragingmenace.com...

also:

Skim for PDF Viewing and create side notes on the PDF's http://skim-app.sourceforge...

Cog for listening to music without being forced to use itunes
http://cogx.org/

aside from these I totally agree with your list.

A good guide to a switcher is mantained by Rui Carmo on his "The Tao of Mac" wiki/blog. Take a look: http://the.taoofmac.com/spa...

And... you should learn to discover the power of Quicksilver :p

well, it's not a big deal until you get passed that learning curve. After you get the hang of it, quicksilver starts saving you a lot of time copying files, adding text to documents, resizing images, sending emails (without using the maill.app), compressing folders, adding tasks to iGTD, opening urls that pop into your head, playing music....

and with all that time you save, you can waste it making the cube look good ! :)
