I prefer Firefox, but that's just my own personal taste. Most people would disagree

VLC - Plays just about everything right out of the box.
7-Zip - I use it in conjunction with WinRAR.
uTorrent and Bittorrent for P2P

Some additional apps I like to make use of:

NetSpeed Monitor, to monitor my internet/network connection.
Format Factory, for quick convenient conversion of video files.
ConvertXtoDVD, to make video files playable on any standard DVD player.
Nero Essentials, because I'm old fashioned that way.
VirtualBox, for my virtual machines/sandboxes.

 

[genetic]

Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, After Effects, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, Davinci Resolve.

Nero Essentials, because I'm old fashioned that way.

I still remember Nero Burning Rom 4View attachment 181770
That should be the de facto burning software until it went bloatware.

I haven't used an optical device in years I remember the dreaded buffer under run lol.

[giggity]

Web browser: Google Chrome (also use for PDF, because it doesn't take a minute to load on slow machines)
Word Processing/Spreadsheets: Microsoft Office/Wordpad/Google Drive/Notepad
Email: GMail
GIMP (I don't like photoshop -- free, and personal preference)
I use PHPStorm (with integrated FTP or FileZilla), notepad++ or Sublime Text instead of DreamWeaver
K-Lite media codec pack (but use Windows Media Player). Use VLC for streaming movies.
AutoHotKey for personal shortcuts.
7-zip beta. Way better than WinRAR in my opinion (free and doesn't ask you to buy, plus has a similar, plausibly better, UI).
uTorrent for linux distros
DropBox for file backups. Don't care how insecure people say it is. It keeps previous versions and I really don't think anybody cares enough about me to try hack me or observe my data.
Blender 3D and JetBrains PyCharm for game dev and 3D rendering with Cycles.
Skype.
FL Studio 11
AIDA64
Adobe After Effects
Command prompt
MacType for better font rendering
