gimp.app - http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ - has now got an "experimental" native mode (so no X11). Even though it's experimental, I've not had any problems with it.
Anyway, on my dock I have (from left to right):-
Mail
Safari
Terminal
Calendar
TextEdit
JollysFastVNC (better than ChickenOfTheVNC IMO)
Eclipse
iTunes
iPhoto
Garageband
Audacity
SoundSoap
Word
Azureus
So I have a mixture of work and music apps there as that's what I spend most of my time doing.

Even the paid for version which I got in one of those macupdate bundles.

Used to use Parallels but decided to take it off upon discovery of apps like Merlin (replacing MS Project). Currently looking at OmniGraffle for replacing Visio.

I'm sure once Xeno sees this you'll get some more geek pointsOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostLooking at my Dock, on the basis that the things I have in there permanently are probably my favourites... oh, and also my Utilities folder, for the stuff that needn't stay in the Dock:

- SuperDuper! (So I don't need the above two)
- Eclipse (IDE)
- Transmit (FTP client)
- Charles (HTTP debugging proxy)
- NetNewsWire (Feed reader)
- Parallels Desktop (Virtualisation, mainly for running Windows apps like Visual Studio, although I have a few different Linux distro VMs as well)
- Oxygen XML Editor and XSLT debugger (wot it sez, although I tend to work with the Eclipse plugin - you get it all on one license)
- MySQL Tools (DB stuff)
- AudioHijackPro (for ripping audio streams on a per-application basis)
- Firefox (testing)
- Opera (testing)
- Chicken of the VNC (Remote desktop stuff)

Your favorite / most used 3rd Party Mac Apps Are...?
- MindManager - great mind mapping tool
- Merlin - prob the best PM tool / project scheduling tool
- Business Card Composer - does what it says on the tin, and does it exceptionally well
- NeoOffice (I predict) - handles MS Office files currently better than MS Office 2008
- Bento - user friendly, no hassle database for well, anything you want. I use it to track projects, export risk, issues etc.
- VLC - for watching movies etc.
- UnRAR X - for handling RAR files
