Top 5 software

Let's compile a list of top 5 software for all sorts of platforms! Just post your list below. Give the platform (Mac, iOS, Wii, etc.) and category (Survival kit, entertainment, productivity, etc.). It's okay to leave two or three blank slots if you can't think of five.

EXAMPLE:

Top 5 Mac AppsSurvival Kit
TextEdit — Text editor that edits all sorts of files
Safari — Web browser with brilliant developer tools and awesome speed
Xcode — Code editing for many languages, with syntax highlighting, code folding, and code completion.
Preview — Image and PDF viewer with simple editing tools.
Grab — Simple screenshot taking

Word is horrid, I'll give you that. But TextEdit can't do anything right. You can't even edit HTML source!

Personally, I like AppleWorks best, except I don't have it anymore.  I use Word because I like to type in page-format.  That's the one thing I don't like about TextEdit.

Re: Top 5 software

My favourite Windows and Linux software:

Note: PortableApps.com does not run natively on Linux... you need WINE to use it.
