My Snow Leopard software compatibility list
Software

- Adobe Air 1.5.2
- Simone’s Gimp 2.6.7
- iMovie HD 6 from iLife 06
- MacPorts 1.8.0 Snow Leopard release (guess that goes without saying!)
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13
- Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2
- OpenOffice.org 3.1.1
- TextMate 1.5.8
- TweetDeck 0.26.6
Software I've been having problems with:

- XQuartz 2.4.0 returns an error saying "This update is designed for OSX Leopard Only.".
I've been able to compile the following ports from MacPorts without problems:
