Portable apps are awesome. Just load them onto your USB flash drive and you can have all your favorite programs anywhere you go. Here's a screenshot of my portable apps directory on my USB stick...
Ccleaner - Awesome junk files remover, supports secure deleting methods.
Firefox - We all know what Firefox is.
Notepad ++ - For web design and coding on the go.
VLC - Awesome media player which supports pretty much every format under the sun.
Defraggler - Because you never know when you want to Defrag a drive.
Chrome - Another web browser, great speed.
Pidgin - IM client, very lightweight and supports OTR messaging.
Winrar - Because it's amazing how few public places support RAR extraction :facepalm:
Eraser - For secure file deletion when I'm out and about.
Nmap - This was an accidental installation to my USB stick, so ignore it!
uTorrent - Because downloading is awesome!
All in all, portable apps are great - discuss.

Anyways, I do not use them now as much as I used to. I have uTorrent, Open Office, FFP, Chrome, Notepad++, 7zip, Skype, uTorrent, WWGP, VLC and tons more, including a bunch of addictive games.
I no longer use any because the only PC I work on these days is my own, where I have the programs in their entirety installed.
