In my day job I am a Gynecologist and in my night job, I am an
Obstetrician. I also manage the .NA ccTLD.
I use Mac OS X 10.5, with Parallels so I can access the practice
management software sitting on my secretary's box. For servers
I use ubuntu 7.04/7.10.
I use LyX for almost everything, and TeXShop for almost everything else
:-)-O. Unless I feel bad and want use AlphaX :-)-O
My Operating Notes, Doctors' Letters, Prescriptions and so on. I type
them faster than if I were to dictate them, my secretary typed them, I
reviewed and corrected them and then printed them. (Though she has LyX
on her XP box...)
I use iWork '08 and NeoOffice 2.2.2 if I get these pesky documents in
other formats. And of course as KeyNote is by far better than anything
else, I don't do beamer or impress for presentations any longer.
LyX has a version control built in and Time Machine works for me very well. But then maybe git will change the way we control versions :-)-O
I do some stuff in Perl to pull data out of my accounting (SQL-Ledger)
and use LaTeX to put some of it onto Tax forms (VAT etc). That works
very well.
If I needed to do a figure (very rarely) I have used R and gnuplot,
I have never had the need for PSTricks. If I need a formula (even
rarer) I use LaTeXit.

I work for a R&D company and have an evening job teaching in a
university. I use LaTeX about 90% of my time. I use it as a
"notebook engine": all my calculations and writeups are written down
in LaTeX instead of paper notebooks. This help me to organize my
life. For colleagues I produce PDFs; my presentations are also
LaTeX-produced PDFs (please see
https://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-4/veytsman-design/)
The programs I use besides LaTeX are:
1. Editor: Emacs+Auctex
2. Version control system: CVS (some day I will move to
subversion...)
3. Symbolic calculations engine: Maxima
4. Numerical computations: simple stuff in Perl, numerical intensive
things in C, matrix-related stuff in Fortran+lapack
5. Figures: PSTricks
6. Plots: publication quality plots in PSTrics, intermediate plots
in Gnuplot.
7. "Glue" between the components: make, shell, sed, awk, perl.
