vi

You gotta start on that, though. I was never able to force myself to get used to it after using emacs for a few years. I wish I could, though. Vi's a lot slimmer.

i am mostly a mac guy, so some of these are osx specific.

xylescope

this is, without doubt, the best css editor ever. it's insanely fantastic.

xcode

my favorite ide. i can't believe someone upthread mentioned eclipse.

colloquy

a decent irc client for osx. decent is about as good as it gets in this domain, unfortunately.

I always liked Adium for all protocols. I tried Colloquy as well, but it's not better enough to rationalize a second program running.

This is MS, and is in beta, but MS Live Search 3d maps( http://local.live.com/ ) just looks cool when it works. You have to install components for the 3D to work, but you can then do Superman-like navigation through cities.

Great Poker Patrick,

Probably 99% of my use of mathematica is either to solve equations (or systems of them) or do (definite) integration. Are these easy to do with matlab? I haven't used matlab much, other than for doing some simple simulation programs. They are very easy to do in mathematica.

I consider myself pretty damn good at getting matlab to do things, and use it for almost everything; for either the tasks you mentioned, I turn to mathematica.

Groove Virtual Office

I'm a consultant, normally working on multi-person teams, and this is the best workflow/project management software I've used. It's main function is to sync files between systems, but you can also customize it heavily to drive project flow, track tasks/deadlines/calendar items, etc. When a project is done, you archive the workspace off (also integrates with sharepoint).

Picasa for photo management on windows. There are probably better, but this works well for me and integrates totally with blogger and Google web albums (and is free).
