1) Safari- NEED INTERNET (I'll go nuts without it!!!!)
2) iTunes- NEED MY MUSIC (How bland would the world be without a constant stream of the Rolling Stones!?)
3) Mail- Need to stay in contact (although I sometimes wish that people would leave me the hell alone!)
4) iChat- Need contact with my friends (but sometimes I want them to bug off)
4) (tie with iChat) Transmission- No comment!

I couldn't live without Xcode because I wouldn't have any money

 

[thomasmallen]

Day-to-day:

1. Firefox
2. NetNewsWire
3. Thunderbird
4. Terminal (does that count?)

Business:

1. MacVim
2. Transmit
3. On The Job
4. Custom-compiled MAMP stack

Oh, Photoshop and Illustrator as well. But that's sort of a given.

 

[thomasmallen]

As for QuickSilver...I don't see what the big deal is. I just use it because it's quicker than Spotlight as an app launcher. I use DockSend for Transmit (or even NcFTP) to FTP stuff, and the terminal (Zsh) for any complicated file operations.
