Multimedia: mplayer, ffmpeg, vlc, avidemux, handbrake, amarok, digikam

Internet: firefox, thunderbird, pidgin/adium, deluge
Mplayer/ffmpe/vlc don't count, as their competitors are also free. I will hesitantly agree with you on Handbrake, however I would have you look at iRip (google it) which I personally prefer. Amarok is not in competition to a paid app. However, I will presume you're comparing it to iTunes. iTunes has a nicer design, more features, iTunes Store (the killer feature) and full iPod/iPhone/iPad syncing. Digikam.. i have never used, but I'm not quite sure it can beat Photoshop/Lightroom/iPhoto/Aperture.
