iTerm2 and MacVim are now my primary tools (IMO, Xcode 4 has lost the plot as a useful IDE.) You can define the behaviour of :make in vim, plus there are a variety of vim plugins that turn it into a complete development environment.

git for source code management; gdb for debugging. bash can do anything I need it to; never really got into zsh.

Dock seems more customizable and immediate than Launchpad. The way Launchpad takes you completely out of your current context is really distracting to me.

BTW, the Dock should always go on the left or right edge, rather than the bottom of the screen, so windows use the maximum vertical height.
