In terms of what I use daily
- GNU Guix package manager
- Kate text editor
- Quassel chat client
- KeePassXC and KeePassDX password managers
- GNU IceCat browser (Firefox ESR derivative)
- VLC media player
Would probably say Firefox, but since many others have already mentioned it, I'll go with Nushell
Pandoc, KeepassXC, NeoVim
Wine, despite the headache that is fiddling with its configurations for specific older games to work.

Thunderbird. Hasn't bugged on me once.
linux, godot, blender, neural amp modeler
GNU Hurd. Never used it, but I like the idea and would love to see it become a viable option.
Favorite? Hm... I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.
If I won the lottery I'd donate to these projects or their respective foundations.
Voyager, Firefox, Tachiyomi (J2K specifically), Bitwarden, Jellyfin and Findroid, Sonarr, LunaSea...there's so much I can't pick.
Bitwarden, NetNewsWire, Firefox

Duplicati: A backup software that securely stores and restores data across various platforms and cloud services. Supports encryption and incremental backups (versioning). Lots of possibilities, but use it to back up my PC to my NAS and the other way around.
-
Ferdium: Messaging and other services combined in a single interface. Using it for Telegram, Whatsapp and services like Home Assistant etc. Allows apps to hibernate when not in use.
-
OpenRGB: Control and customize RGB lighting effects on various computer hardware components.

Firefox
OpenSCAD and Gitlab. I can quickly iterate on designs through code, push it to my Gitlab instance, and have my CI/CD pipelines pick it up, render it, and automatically slice it in some common profiles to send to Octoprint
Firefox, Bitwarden, and Tachiyomi are some that I use almost everyday
Firefox, Neovim, Pass (password store) and Wezterm. I heavily use all four of them.
I also need to give a special mention to Aegis Authenticator on Android.
Favourite, not sure. Maybe my "favourite" would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.
There wouldn't be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.
For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it's "just" a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.
For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.
And for the rest, I don't really know. Either I don't remember right now, or no special "like" for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).
It depends on the usage really.
