Everyone has their favorites. For me, It will change according to what I'm doing. Their is no one or three programs that can do everything extremely well.

Depends on how you define "top" (which someone kind of alluded to here by mentioning free programs).
If you mean "used by the major animation houses" then the answer would undoubtably be custom software. Nearly all houses (like Pixar) use custom written software for their animation, or at least *some* custom software (the other rule is that all major studios use lots more than just one software program to put together their work). If you mean by hobbyists then you will get a quite different answer.
If you mean "top selling" then you also have to define whether you mean number of units or total dollars.
Finally, you probably should clarify what you mean by "animation programs". Do you mean 3D, 2D or both? Do you mean producing animation for web use, for television and/or movies or both?
Now -- if you just mean what are the "top" programs used by people on this site the answer is very obviously going to be Anime Studio first. Then I would think Toon Boom would be second, and perhaps that free 2D software that Genete (I think) keeps on about.
(My own top programs are AS first, then 3D Max, and then perhaps FantaMorph).

Hhhmm, thanks for interesting link - I never read such a survey, it was interesting and if we believe to author, results are unexpected
I primarily use 3ds max for 3D but now for a while ago have made good friendship with Anime Studio and 2D generally.
After reading this post I was convinced for what I felt inside me - pencil rocks the world!
