Way too many to list but a noteable one for me, and another more recent one is

GNU Octave - open source version of MATLAB that tries to be MATLAB compatible.

KDE Connect - sync phone (Android/Blackberry with iOS coming) to your Linux OS for notifications, sms replying (not working for me at the momnent), remote control etc. Thanks to @Jeol for showing me this one!

Outside of the OS and it bundled apps it would be virtualbox, Libreoffice, Transmission.

Apart from the already mentioned, I'd like to add ClamAV (it doesn't even matter how good it is, it's the most serious implementation of a FOSS antivirus package that I know of) and RStudio.

gcc is a cornerstone of our modern society. I also really like Netbeans, sed, vim, grep, curl and libusb, they make my life a lot easier.

Regarding gaming (emulation), I really like what the libretro and dolphin teams are doing.
