Web:

On-Rev - Been programming for years in numerous situations. I have to say that the combined strength of Rev & On-Rev is wonderful!
PHP - Still need to translate my existing pages to .irev, just been too busy.

OS X:

Runtime Revolution Studio - For OS X, Windows Dev (Linux may be an option soon as well)
Unity 3D - For game programming, sadly this has been put on hold due to a current project taking precedence.
VMWare Fusion - Running: Windows XP & Windows 7
Pixelmator - Graphic Editor
ForkLift - FTP & File Browser

Windows:

Basic4PPC - For Pocket PC developement
IcoFx - Icon Editor

Was using HanDBase for PPC quick dev, but it is WAY to limited for what I need, and the price on Basic4PPC is an incredible value. just like Rev is.

With Revolution & Basic4PPC, you can cover programming for almost any situation.

Next step will be the iPhone SDK!

Just a few..

Re Visual Studio, I use it when I have to, but I've started doing most of my non-rev Windows work in CodeBlocks (http://www.CodeBlocks.org), an open-source C++ IDE without all the bloated overhead of VS.

@xeir
The iPhone SDK is on my list too. Did you evaluated Torque by GarageGames before you choosed Unity3D?
