I suppose. I'd suggest The GIMP but you presumedly wouldn't want to use X11 for this purpose.

Safari should fill forms for you. Passwords can be remembered by Keychain, it should ask you by default, no?

Anyway, enjoy your machine. Software being thin depends on what you need. I'm of the opinion that Apple should package iWork with the computers they sell the way they do with iLife. Other than that, those aren't programs I'd expect to be prepackaged on a computer you buy. And if you need spreadsheets, you'll need to either go MS Office or find an alternative one. Dells and the like sometimes come with a checking program, but I've yet to see one that isn't just a demo of a sorts.
