I'm not a Mac user (yet) but I found a software for image editing. From what I've heard it's similar to the GIMP so you might want to add this to the list.

Seashore

Also, here's a Mac version of Soulseek (P2P programs)

soulseeX

You can try

1.Poisoned

QUOTE

Poisoned is a file sharing application for Mac OS X. Poisoned may look like your average file sharing application at first glance, but it is so much more. Unlike applications like Limewire or Kazaa that connect to only one file sharing network, Poisoned can connect to several seamlessly. Unlike Kazaa and several other file sharing applications, Poisoned contains no spyware and no adware.

2. iSwipe

QUOTE

Compatible with: WWW, FTP, Hotline, Napster, OpenNapster, Gnutella, Carracho(*), OpenFT, iTunes, eDonkey and FastTrack (Kazaa, Grokster), BitTorrent and the Ares networks!!

Don't leave out ThinkFree Office 3, which is an alternative to Microsoft Office. Cheap and good!

For utilities, I can't leave without Xupport and Onyx.
