How many word processors does one need? On every single PC I work on, the user runs... wait for it... MS Word. Spreadsheet? Excel, of course. In every case, it's just Office (available for Mac, too, BTW). These jillions of other apps not available for Mac don't seem to appear on the PCs I service.
Except games and specialty apps (more cross-stitch pattern generators for PCs, for example). In most cases that I encounter, the surplus of PC apps is superflous.
I think too much is made of the "lack" of software for the Mac. There's a difference, indeed, but in practical terms it's overblown.
