During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.

I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++

Any sugestions?

Thank You

CodeRunner, Whisk and Sublime are pretty good alternatives to Notepad++. I've tried each and can say that the apps are great.
Insomnia is a great thing to use, too.
And the other apps I use have already been recommended, so I hope something will work for you too.
There are a lot of different apps, and it depends on your preferences. Also, there are different articles and blogs where you can read the info, sometimes reviews, and choose something you like and find useful. Here is one article https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-recover-excel-file-on-mac I read it recently, and it provided me with some useful info about recovering files on Mac. There, you can also see some info about the app, which can help you to do it, and I think it's also a useful one.
