VLC for any media files
Cyberduck for any FTP/SSH/S3 work
Awaken for alarm clock
MetaX for tagging movies for iTunes
iWork 08 for documents
Handbrake for DVD Ripping
NetBeans for programming
Caffeine (just take a look at it to see what it does)

That's the best of the best in my opinion

This should just be a sticky. Why? Because I love answering these questions.
