I didn't know you could do photo, movie or music editing in Safari, iChat and Adium...

I'm no power user, so mine would be:

iTunes (if encoding, ripping, etc. is considered editing...)
iPhoto
iMovie
Sound Studio
Jam

and for ripping, encoding, etc. of videos:

Mac The Ripper
Handbrake
DVD2OneX
(and then Toast to finish things off!)

Quicksilver !!! !!! !!! - iTunes integration and hotkeys is sweeeet...
Remote Desktop (for working on my PC when I absolutely *have* to)
Clutter
Azureus
VLC *or* MPlayer OSX 2 (some vids work better in one than the other)

Kind of depends of what sort of editing you're looking to do and what your budget is. There are many A/V editing tools, and many of them have purposes for different content or applications. iMovie, iDVD, and Garage Band are very good consumer-level video editing tools, whereas Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects, Logic, Peak, Kontakt, Reason etc. are where you might look for pro-level stuff. Then there are specialized apps like Shake and Soundtrack.

EDIT: fixed lame spelling

I'm not a music maker, but if you could master:

that would be a damn good all round set of skills.
