Winamp 5.6, on all my Windows PCs. It's my most missed software on my Mac. I'd even install it in my car if I could...
Why 5.6, specifically? What was it about that version?

#18ed, emacs.
I was going to say emacs too.
GNU emacs goes back to 1985, although I used TECO emacs before that.
But ed is older, although what is in use today is probably GNU ed, which was written after GNU emacs.
