Firefox is by far the one I use the most. Gnome Do is also an amazing time saver and convenience.

Hard to choose one as a favorite, but i'd have to go with one of those two, or GIMP.

My favorite ones are Opera and Flash. (That was a joke, neither are open source)

But Avant and Chromium are my favorite.

Vim.

lol

I'm trying but I haven't mastered the 25 commands you need to become fast in it. I don't have that much use for editing text files, I guess, but when I do I always use vim.

Haha. The open source version of that isn't great. The closed source version, however..

Today it happens to be Nautilus. I've just discovered that the Nautilus Send To function now includes this awesome piece of back-upification...
