Free Mac Applications - What do you use?

[QuickSilver]

In the spirit of the free software thread in the windows forum I thought I would start a thread on your favorite free apps for Mac's. I know when I am talking to people about making the switch I tell them they can do pretty much everything on a Mac that they do on their PC. Here are some of my favorites some are cross platform as well.

VLC - Excellent Media player
Transmission - Torrents. Clean simple and fast.
Cyberduck - Simple FTP program
Handbrake - Video Transcoding
Quicksilver - Multi-Application launcher
Adium - Messaging application
FireFTP - Add on for firefox for FTP
PS3 Media Server - Streaming MKV files to my PS3
Monolingual - Cleans out languages not needed.
CoRd - Remote Desktop App

I will update as I get more.

I remotely backup/sync my mom-in-law's OS X box to my Linux-based storage box this way over the Internet and it works beautifully. Multi-platform too.

Just started using Google Quick Search Box. Developed by the same guy who created Quicksilver. It hasn't replaced Quicksilver for me yet, but it looks very promising at an early stage.

SuperDuper - drive cloning/backup software. Free version creates bootable clone of your drive.

AppDelete - guess what it does.

MacTheRipper - again, take a guess.

[EmmEff]

JollysFastVNC - another VNC client, possibly better than Chicken of the VNC
Flip4Mac - WMV player plugin for browsers
uTorrent
Growl - multi-app notification system

[supergenius]

Didn't see these:

Burn - CD/DVD burning
The Unarchiver - Uncompress rar, zip etc
Remote Desktop Connection - control my windows PC's from my Mac

[EmmEff]

SimplyBurns (http://simplyburns.berlios.de/) is the CD/DVD burning app I use

[Ants]

Here are a few I cannot live without....

Perian - plug in for QuickTime, adds support for many video formats.
(along with Flip4Mac & Flash - it's all you really need)
Paparazzi - creates screenshots of webpages
Max - creates/converts high-quality audio files/CDs into various formats
Onyx - Utility to maintain, optimize and modift system appearance
Audacity - Audio editor
Plex - although still in beta, it's a pretty amazing HTPC. Far superior to Apple's FrontRow.

Vuze. Not just a great bittorrent client, but also streams media to a PS3.

Neo Office, and Open office are two great FREE alternative to MS Office

GIMP - Quite a robust image editor, although it runs under the X Window system, which is a little bit of a drawback
