Cross-Platform Developer's Tools Comparison

One of the first things with moving to or even evaluating a new platform is figuring out what is "there" on the target OS. This answers the question "What can I still do" or better yet "How do I...".  Here's my comparison list of tools across Linux, OS X, and Windows. Yes, I know that OSX is Linux under the covers, however it is enough of a "standoff-ish" platform (IMHO) with regards to user experience, development platform/tools (used to build the software I'm talking about), etc. that I categorize it separately.

Tool	Linux	OSX	Windows
Blog Writer		Qumana	Live Writer
Database Tool	DbVisualizer	DbVisualizer	DbVisualizer SQL Server Management Studio Express
Development IDE	Eclipse MonoDevelop	Eclipse MonoDevelop	Eclipse SharpDevelop Visual Studio
File Compression	7-Zip	7zX	7-Zip
File/Folder Comparison	Beyond Compare	Delta Walker	Beyond Compare
Instant Messaging	Pidgin	Adium Pidgin	Pidgin
Source Control	Subclipse	Subclipse Versions	AnkhSVN TortoiseSVN
System Tray Status/Tools		iStat Menus	SysInternals
Text Editor	Beyond Compare	Text Wrangler	Notepad++
Video Player	VLC Player	VLC Player	VLC Player
XML Editor	<oXygen>	<oXygen>	<oXygen>

Note that this list is what I've found for software that is comparable and gets the job done for me.
