As hard as I try, I can't seem to get used to the prettier Finder replacements.

Some additions:

  * MuCommander (Norton Commander-style file manager)
  * ShiftIt (window management/"Aero Snap"/Moom alternative)
  * Isolator (widow focus indicator)
  * SecondBar (menu bar for your second monitor)
  * KeyRemap4Macbook/PCKeyboard Hack (remap keys,  capslock=command, etc.)
  * BetterTouchTool (trackpad gestures, middle click!)
