It is true that OSS apps are not very well known to many, however, a
few apps are considered jewels of OSS. You can find an enterprise
class OSS app for any domain. They are, in no particular order:

Apache
Sendmail
Squid
GIMP
Fetchmail
OpenOffice
Latex
Snort
MySQL/PostgreSQL
OpenSSH
VNC
Mplayer
etc..
