Mac-Only apps:
Max/MSP (yes I know PD runs on Windows and Linux, and jMax may be running
on on Windows by now)
Metasynth
Several Ircam pacakages: Super Phase Vocoder, Modalys....
SoundHack
SuperCollider (for the time being)
Many ProTools plugins
Still a pretty substantial list, don't you think?
Luckily we have equivalents for most of those apps on Linux by now, or
will soon.
