Samplitude looks like Reaper.

[6000]

shortcircuit be the best free sampler. lots of useful features.

EDIT: stick with v1 though, i don't think v2 ever got finished.

HighLife is another great sampler with bread and butter functions. http://www.discodsp.com/highlife/

another that hardly gets mentioned, Fromage from Ohmforce.
my favourite plugin for sound design, i use it on every reese and its able to make a lot of organic watery textures if tweaked/automated right.
not a needed effect but for serious people who want to sound different its very versatile.

wow serious? it takes next to nothing on mine, it only goes up a very few percent if i use 16 bands on the left though.

Thought I'd list some more synths that might not have been mentioned. I'll add them proper later.

MauSynth
MinimogueVA
SQ8L
Rez
xhip
NitrousPM

Can't remember if I already mentioned:
ClearSynth
ClearDrum

Also these are ok:
Triangle II
Alpha Free
Texture
