It's very useful.

Applescript is one of those somewhat hidden gems of OSX. It short, it provides 'hooks' into many of your programs (e.g., Photoshop, TextEdit, QuickTime Player, iPhoto, iTunes, etc...) and is isanely useful. Between Automator and Applescript, you can minimize the amount of time doing repetitious/tedious tasks.

Also, why hasn't anyone mentioned Spotlight, or QuickSilver?
The photoshop automator script site is borking, but I'll definately check that out later.

Spotlight goes without saying - it's not an app, it's the OS, but hell yeah, it's absolutely fantastic. Realtime text searching even in image documents...

I use dashboard a lot as well - write my own little javascript apps to keep a check on my websites... how many new posts, new submits, server load, etc - very very simple, yet beautiful

And I fully agree on Applescript - my desktop is full of them to speed everything up.
