I do. Some get used more than others, but with my workflow, it is rare that one of them goes unused. I prefer to have something as an app over using my browser-I usually have a TON of tabs open, and it sucks to close the wrong one.

That’s a lot of apps!

I use many of the ones you have listed, although some more than others.

Do you actually find the time to actively use every one of those tools consistently, or do you use some a lot more than others?

I'll list some of my apps:

Acquisition – to quickly download a few mp3's
Address Book – I use this because I can sync it with everything using Soocial
Adium – for all my IM
Colloquy – for the rare occasion that I still need IRC
Cooliris – this saves a lot of time when watching photo's
CoverSutra – most awesome iTunes controller and Last.FM scrobbler
Cyberduck – FTP stuff
Dropbox – can't live without this anymore
Dropzone – has potential, don't realy use it (yet) though
Evernote – smash any note in it
Firefox – for when Safari is too good for the web
Google Notifier – Thinking of switching this to MailPlane after reading your post
Google Quick Search Box – the legendary QuickSilver got replaced!
iCal – uses Google Calendar
iTunes – cause it rocks
iWork '09 – no word for me
NetNewsWire – best RSS reader I've found
PS3 Media Server – still trying to get this working
QuickTime Player X – I use this for everything it can open
SABnzbd+ – usenet downloading, simplyfied
Safari – my main browser
SongGenie – get the right tags for my mp3's
The Unarchiver – just unzip wasn't enough
Things – GTD works for me
Tweetie – my Twitter client
VLC – for everything QT can't open
VMware Fusion – sadly my school forces me to use Windows apps sometimes
Wakoopa Tracker – to find out about cool new apps, I'm sort of an app-aholic

It seems like Mac narrows down the basic functions that computers need while also offering cool and savvy applications like “tweetdeck” and “evernote.” My next laptop might just have to be a Mac…
