GIMP was designed to be a Photoshop replacement. It has many improvement now since I first played with it back in 1999. Things are tidied up quite a bit, as is many crazy things you can do by writing your own extensions.

Blender blender.org is my preferred 3d design environment. I use it on all platforms. It's free and once you get a hang of it you would never go back. Together with the abundance of python extensions written for it you can do magic. You can render things with insanely fabulous and super-fast results using the nVidia gelato engine blogs.nvidia.com/gelato/ which uses your nVidia video hardware as a hardware accelerator. Uber cool + free as well!!!

gedit in dark tango theme. Best development environment IMHO. Somehow things are easier to edit against black background. Don't know why.
I have tried the many hacks to get Eclipse to do dark backgrounds but it takes a *lot* of work, and still can't quite do it nicely... gedit's shell integration and the python console is awesome. hard to beat for any other tools found in any OS. This is why even when I'm on Vista I still use virtualbox.org to have a Linux desktop open at all times.

Tilda is the best darn thing for a geek's life. I really wish there's something similar in Windows + Mac but there's none. You can't beat a transparent overlay with a single-key open/close access. Here I use Compiz to blur the content behind the background to make things easier to read even in super-transparent mode.
