Drawstudio. A very underrated and little brought utility by the Amiga
Community at large. It's really cool.

The best thing to ever grace the amiga was Directory Opus magellan 2 which is absolutly fantastic as a WB Replacement and i still/will continue to use it under Amithlon,

Tried the windows version of Directory Opus and was very unhappy with it.

CygnusEd or perhaps Deluxe paint IV, however the disksalv tools have really saved my butt several times so thats a good one too.

Ohh, the memories of making Lemmings animations with DPaint.

I prefer PPaint now.

Agreed. CED'll always be the dog's bollocks when it comes to Amiga text editors.

None of that bloated, Windows wannabe GED crap.

I nearly seconded that. Its very good, but I think for me Brilliance 2 was the best Amiga app. I loved that program...

@gnarly

Brilliance has been one of my best ever investments. From seeing it being demonstrated at the WOA at Wembley and shelling out a huge amount of money for it. And being really gutted when Brilliance2 was released about £100 cheaper. And I bought that too.
This has got to be the most robust program I've ever used. It's never crashed on me, at all. Still to this day I've not found anything to best it on any other platform. Shame that it won't run on the AmigaOne

ScalaMM400 is another must have program. If ever there was (is?) another program that can make multimedia easier, I'd like to see it.
