I just upgraded a 2010 13” Macbook Pro with a 240GB Intel SSD 530. Started with a clean install of OSX 10.9 which I immediately updated to 10.9.2
Here are the apps I installed:
Editors/IDE
Browsers
Utilities
- Homebrew: package manager for OSX
- TrimEnabler: enables SSD trim for non Apple drives
- iTerm2: a better terminal
- Alfred: quick search and productivity tool
- Unarchiver: adds support for 7z and other archive file types

- Virtualbox: For virtualization needs
- Dropbox: For cloud storage
