Well all my friends are doing it, I might as well jump in. I have to admit the results surprised me. I was experimenting with snmpwalk recently and this has skewed my results terribly.
On my daily use laptop:
polycarb:~ alan$ uname -a ; history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head

16 svn
14 less
13 open
12 telnet
12 ifconfig
No surprises there, I use open a fair bit to open a Finder window in a particular directory. As others have noted, this does not account for the amount of work that goes on in the Aquamacs session.
On a dated work machine that is used for project management, integration and firmware builds:
Linux energia 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 #5 SMP Thu Sep 9 10:16:29 MDT 2004 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux 117 cd 76 svn 68 ls 36 ./buildrel 25 svnmerge 22 pwd 14 grep 13 echo 12 less 8 bint
I make no apologies for running Gentoo here, but I wouldn’t do it again, that’s for sure. –funroll-loops –gaak!
buildrel is a script that (predictably) builds the firmware release image files and bint is a “bug integration tool” that lets me see diffs, branch-points and manage merges for integrating tasks into the stable codelines. It isn’t much more than a convenience wrapper around svn.

Looks pretty similar, except that you don’t ever seem to edit files.
I keep an Emacs (Aquamacs Emacs) running all the time, so it rarely shows up in my shell.
