OK, let’s try to do the list:
1. Mediawiki + SemanitcMediawiki - for general knowledge base (based on the zettelkasten rules).
2. OneNote - for quickly collecting quotations, thoughts and so on. To be incorporated into Mediawiki once a week (or more often). And for base for tips and tricks and howtos (strictly technical).
3. Midori notebook (analog!) - the same as OneNote.
3. Workflowy - for outlining big projects.
4. Todoist - for task management and general, quick and dirty inbox.
5. Gmail - for mail :)
6. Sublimetext - editor for almost everything
7. Zotero - ultimate references and pdf collector.
8. Pandoc and markdown with LaTeX elements - for writing papers (in Sublime, of course).
9. QGIS - for mapping (I’m very happy migrating from ArcGIS).
10. Gnuplot - you know, for charts.
11. SQLite and Access for databases.
12. R for statistics.

There are some more, but a dozen to show is enough :)

The tools listed from 1 to 4 are new, I’m started to use them in 2015 or in the end of 2014. But they do it’s job very good. And the rest of the list is much more well settled.
