Getting a mac soon, what are some of the most useful apps for work?
I'd still recommend finding replacements parts your workflow if you were accustomed to them on windows. apps like rectangle give you snap windows which is probably the biggest pain point coming from windows.
Rectangle gives you window snapping superpowers.

But it is not maintained anymore, so I set https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle to behave like Spectacle default.

You're using function keys wrong
I use Rectangle too, but it's pretty annoying how many apps Rectangle has issues with. Apparently it's a macOS thing. So, Steam doesn't work at all. Facetime doesn't support switching between screens. etc. Another example with Messages: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle/issues/842

I was frustrated with the way Windows handles Hebrew on Latin keyboards, so I wrote an open-source IME for Hebrew to make it easier! You download it, type in the phonetics, and it gives you the Hebrew.

homebrew is the most popular package manager on MacOS. It's painfully slow compared to linux package managers but it works. Macports is an alternative and Nix works on MacOS as well. They can be used to download both terminal and GUI applications.

Cross-platform way to install software my dotfiles depend on?
Homebrew was originally just for macOS, but they introduced Linux support a few years ago. Theyâve done a lot of work to improve it since then. Iâve been using it for a few years across my macOS and WSL install, and it works great!
