What are your favourite Applications?

[ShaiGar]

Mine are:
KDE World Clock - ever since I first came online and started talking in IRC, I have been acutely aware of other timezones around the world. I've even developed patterns for remembering where each city is in relation to London (GMT). This application fulfills my need to know, and i love looking at a map of who has daylight and who doesn't, it's frikkin awesome.
gFTP - I control a few websites, and I love organising theoretical space... stupid I know, but still
KTorrent - Okay now this one is just obvious.
QCAD - I've always loved to design shit, Unfortunately when I was on windows the only CAD programs i could find were hundreds of dollars worth. Now I can design houses and zombie fortresses on a professional level, since my freehand drawings are retardedly shit.


What programs/applications do you love best, what do you use them for? Is there any sort of correlation between Type and this? I doubt it but it's fun to find out.

[Ijz]

My preferences go to applications that let me do the job in the most efficient way. For instance, I use Word to write my documents. Not because I like it better than OpenOffice but because its pre-installed at work and it seems inefficient to use a different editor at home.

But still I have some prefs:
- Firefox
- uTorrent
- MoviezDB (my own movie collection manager :thumbsup: )
- Zoom Player (Pro)
- FFdshow

[Opti]

Macromedia Fireworks: Good for making simple graphics and editing pics etc used to use for websites but now use for designing stuff for work.
Snag It: Screen Capture Utility: Captures stills/video. It is my must have app.
Cyberlink Power DirectorGreat for making video presentations, lots of effects/transitions. Again use it for work, but would like to use it for something personally creative.

[HackerX]

Amarok

I wait patiently for the day that it gets ported to Windows (with the new QT4 libs) or I get impatient and do it myself. Songbird is good, but it isn't Amarok good (and itunes doesn't come close).

Visual Studio 2005 (note the year version)
The latest incarnation of VS craps all over other IDE's as far as capabilities (that I require) go.

JEdit

About the only editor that supports the dev language I use at work, and hell, it's pretty decent to boot. Pitty it's not VS though (looking forward to when support for said language is added to Eclipse)

[Riverratt]

AVG Free , lots of love for that

Open Office even more love for that! even tho I have purchased copy of Office 2003, I still prefer Sun's Open Office to the Microsoft product. :idea:

ARES , P2P client,

Asuerus , Bit-torrent Client

Weather Exchange , A GREAT, alternative to the Weather bug, NO ADS, and NO BS!! :idea: :idea:

In order of preference of the programs I work with on a business week basis:

ESET's NOD32, Visual Studio (For Windows Development, there is none better), Debian, Windows Server 2003, Xubuntu (for the old desktops in the office), and at the bottom Microsoft Exchange.

[Troublems]

My newest discovery and favourite app. to date is Ares Tube. It allows you to automatically rip videos off sites such as YouTube and convert them straight into iPod compatible formats.

1. Mozilla Thunderbird (formerly Minotaur) -- e-mail/newsgroup client

2. Mozilla Firefox (formerly Phoenix, Firebird) -- gecko-based browser

3. gVIM -- excellently extended Vi clone, I even run it on windows machines.

4. XMMS -- Linux multimedia player

5. WinAmp -- Windows MP3/other player.

6. OpenOffice.org (open branch of StarOffice) -- Excellent free Microsoft office clone, includes many of the same features and more.)

7. Winzip 7.0 -- Older version of Winzip that can be used indefinitely, and still works with all zip files.

8. Pidgin (formerly GAIM) -- suitable multi-service chat client.

[rocksteady]

Propellerhead Reason
Sony Soundforge

Spybot

[Caramel]

The Python programming language. And jEdit to actually write it.

Do the Microsoft applications such as Word and Excel count (i have not heard of most of the ones you are talking about)? If so then excel, because I love doing things such as D&D character sheets that auto-fill in all the dependent information in for you.

Agreed!

Open Office even more love for that!
Dang straight!

Azureus , Bit-torrent Client
I assume this was originally misspelled. Dang fine P2P client though!

VLC Player , A free media player, that will play practically everything.
I used to use Zplayer Pro for media files but recently I'm turning to VLC Player which is great at not having issues playing certain newer file types.

UltraEdit - Love it! As far as text editors, Crimson Editor and TextPad look similar but UE is working great for me.

FireFox - This one's a gimme!

SpaceMonger v1.4 - Free hard drive disk space utilization application. Commercial version 2.0 is available too but the free version works just fine.

PeerGuardian - Good additional protection of privacy when using P2P clients.

XXAMP - free Apache local webserver including PHP and MySQL support.

DreamWeaver - The web design software of choice.

Trillian - Universal chat client. Might be better ones out there but I've grown used to this one.

HiJackThis - Free virus, spyware, adware utility for diagnosing problems. Note I only had to use this (as well as SpyBot S&D and Lavasoft's Adaware) once in the last 4 years since switching to FireFox with the NoScript add-on. Great help for IE users though!

Panda Antivirus 2007 - Because I have yet to find a antivirus I liked better.
Pidgin - Who doesn't like a low resource multi-messanger program that keeps ALL your IM's in one window that you can toggle from person to person via tabs?
7-Zip - Low resource compression utility that can uncompress numerous formats.
Photoshop CS2 - I like to draw... then color the drawings with this.
NMap - Because I like to keep things safe.

[schmidt]

gvim,urxvt,firefox,wmii,irssi,mutt,firefox,

anyone guessed that I'm a CLI *nix person ;)

[melon]

Most of my favorite apps are *nix/KDE apps. (Yes, the naming scheme is annoying.) Most of them will be ported to Windows and OS X within the next few months.

Amarok: Media player that automatically fetches lyrics, artist information from Wikipedia, album cover, etc.
Konqueror: Web browser, file manager, and file viewer
Kontact: Personal information manager
Kopete: Instant Messanger program that supports multiple protocols (AIM, MSN, ICQ, Jabber, etc.)
Konversation: IRC client; what I use to talk in #intj
Kate: An advanced text editor (with syntax highlighting, code indenting, etc.)
KOffice: Office suite
KDevelop: Integrated development environment

Here are some of my favorite non-KDE apps (most of which are multiplatform):

Firefox: Web browser
GIMP: Image editor
Google Earth: Virtual globe
Zsnes, FCEU, ePSXe, MAME, Mupen64, Gens, and other emulators
WINE: Allows some Windows programs to be run in *nix
OpenOffice: Office suite
Pidgin: Another multi-protocol IM client
Notepad++: An excellent Notepad replacement for Windows

Every app that I listed is free, and most of them are open source. I haven't used OS X much yet, hence the lack of OS X apps.

[ehares]

Multi-platform:
Firefox
Joost
ScummVM
Skype
Ultralingua
VMware


OSX:
1password
quicksilver
Path Finder
Skitch
TextMate

Windows:
litestep
e

[NicoMT]

Firefox
iTunes
Photoshop/PSP
uTorrent

Not much.

[Geek007]

By far the most used application in my computers is Firefox.

[Vayate]

My applications:

Instant messaging: Pigin
Web browsing: Firefox
FTP transfer: Filezilla client
FTP Server: Filezilla server (surprise!)
Image viewing and basic editing: Irfanview
Advanced image editing: Photoshop CS3
POP3/IMAP Mail: Thunderbird
Bittorrent: uTorrent (it's basically Azureus but without Java's RAM hogging
CD Ripping: Exact Audio Copy
Media Playing: Video Lan C (works great for everything but subtitles, which blow hard)
DVD-ROM Emulation:: DaEMON Tools
CD/DVD Ripping: DVD Decrypter
ISO Editing: Magic ISO
CD Burning: Nero 6.6 Ultimate Edition
PDF Markup: Bluebeam PDF Revu

Total investment: $35. Most of that stuff is free or readily available (Nero, Photoshop and PDF Revu require purchases), and all of it is the very best at what it does.

[notoppings]

I use most of these applications. Google earth is still one of my favorites, I really enjoy the 3-D application and it has helped me see locations in relation to my home. When someone says they are from X I go to google earth and enter X and zoom on in then I am able to ask them questions about sites near them or interesting points in their city great for conversation starters.

[Dystopia]

I love Noatun, a media player for Linux's KDE desktop. I never found anything like it on Windows.

It doesn't try to look like a stereo with lots of flashing lights, it doesn't try to reorganise or tag my media files while I'm not looking. In doesn't try to look pretty. It just plays media files, and damn near any file type you can think of, and it doesn't crash.

It's got a bad press and people say it's obsolete. If I want prettiness, I'll go to an art gallery. If I want to reorganise my music, I'll do it myself with other programmes that specialise in it. I don't know what the deal is with these Winamp/Windows Media Player style "all in one media centres." They are slow, buggy, inefficient, ugly and skip all the time because they are trying to do crap they don't need to.

I find Amarok over-complicated with all those tabs and bars and flashing lights and eye-candy. VLC is good for lots of options, a clean interface and playing obscure file types, but it seems to crash all the time on me. It must be a hardware issue, as the same thing happened on Windows and Linux, and I'm sure I tried out every option I could find.
