#2Firefox, M$ Office (:/), XenCenter, RoyalTS (all on Windows), and misc. Linuxy stuff..
I'm the IT Guy for a small non-profit research and development company in the higher education sector.
Firefox is used for Spiceworks, various web-based management consoles for our storage devices (and webmin on Linux VMs), and general web stuff. M$ Office is mostly just Outlook and Excel. XenCenter to manage our XenServer infrastructure, and RoyalTS is for RDC-ing to various servers and workstations. Most Linux admin is done via webmin, or shell.

#3Emacs, Eclipse, Lein, Maven, Node. Two additional ones are in my kit box by default, for different reasons, Java and MS Office. Java is required for Lein, Eclipse, and Maven, and occasional Java components. Node is needed for tool automation, in my case. Emacs is used for general editing needs, and Clojure coding. MS Office is needed because any delivery which does not include documentation doesn't count, and many I work with require documentation in MS Office form.

#6Data Scientist:
SQL Developer, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Enterprise Miner, Excel, Jira
We are a "SAS shop", therefore SAS is a must. Knowing other SAS products helps to recognize when a statement like "it is not possible" in reality means "I am not in the mood for working".
