Long time Windows developer making the move to Apple platform. My new development environment is a 15" MacBook Pro with 16 Gb RAM and a 512 Gb SSD. I'm totally new to the world of Apple hardware and software and am looking for advice on what apps, utilities and hardware I should consider for my new environment.. Some early questions: 1. Which distribution of Python to install (Python.org, ActivateState, other?) and do I need to do anything special to avoid overwriting the system copy of Python? 2. Text editor: Textmate, BBEdit, Emacs/VI, or other? 3. Multiple external monitors: Any recommendations on monitor specs/models for 2 external monitors for a MacBook? 4. Best visual diff utility for Mac? Any other "gotta have" Mac apps, utilities, or hardware accessories you would recommend? Thank you! Malcolm
