in no particular order:
(1) iApps
(2) OmniApps (I love OmniWeb, depend on OmniOutliner, and think OmniGraffle is a deal for what it does - plus OmniDictionary (free!) is extremely convenient)
(3) iConquer - great risk game - first game I've seen that looks like it was built for OS X - rendezvous & internet networking, plugins, GORGEOUS maps, etc.
(4) Acquisition - for all your gnutella needs, SO much better than limewire
(5) Meteorologist - free menu bar weather - most customizable I've seen

LaunchBar! - the only way to fly in Mac OS X
MyMind - a small outliner + map, which I use for my to-do list
Clutter - a more traditional way to view my music
WindowShade X - while waiting for Exposé
FotoWire - iPhoto won't give me prints in Europe, but I don't care; FotoWire beats it anyway
And FocusLayer, which I sparked here at the dev forum, but which now appears to be siteless 
There are tons. These are of the more functional kind

1) OpenOffice 1.0.3 (by far my #1)
2) VLC
3) Fugu
4) Konfabulator
5) Safari (not sure if it should count, but it is based on open source software)
[many of these will be replaced by panther out of the box]

In no particular order: - LaunchBar (I actually have a broken spacebar because I use it so much)
- DragThing (although I'm only using it to show running programs right now)
- PTH menubar extras - PTHClock, PTHITunesNotifier, and PTHCPUMonitor
- Camino - I can't live without keyword bookmarks and type-ahead-find and Safari ain't got 'em.
- Cocoa Browser - indispensable while coding
- MathRPN - excellent RPN scientific calculator
- VLC - ugliest interface in the world, but an excellent program

1: VLC (i may be a bit biased in this  )
2: Fugu (we lost from them at the Design Awards, and i have to say it is GOOD
3: Stuffit Expander (why are so many ppl taking this baby for granted)
4: Seti@home (run it all the time)
5: OpenOffice.org (even though it f#cked up my custom build environment i keep for VLC by installing it's own version of dlcompat )
