Xcode4, Quicksilver, BBedit, Terminal, Finder, Versions (svn) or MacHg (hg)

iCal, Adium, Chrome, Dropbox
I don't use Launchpad, though I can't honestly say I've given it a fair chance. I can't live without Quicksilver, this may have something to do with it.
I do my work on my main display (27"), and have Adium/Mail/Chrome on my smaller second display, to keep a nice separation between work and meta-work
Things I always do on a new Mac for development:

2) Dock hiding automatically
3) Install all apps listed above
4) Give the machine a clever host name
