Stocks: undeletable, at least without some amount of hackery with which I am not entirely comfortable. I've created a Junk folder on the third page and stick all the apps I never use in there.
Getting photos from iThing to OSX: the trick is an OSX app you've probably never used called Image Capture. Connect the phone, open Image Capture, and you should be able to drag and drop photos from the phone to wherever. (Definitely works with OSX Mavericks and iOS 7/iPhone 4s.)
I am told that Paprika is the best recipe app there is. I'm using one called HandyCookBook which is old and not updated, because I am lazy.
Nonobvious things I use all the time: Check The Weather, a weather app that I quite like. Wikipanion, a Wikipedia frontend. Vesper, a note app that I use to hold random story ideas / fragments. iBooks, which is inexplicably not preinstalled. USB Disk Pro, which turns your iThing into a thumb drive.
I've gotten some mileage out of The Sweet Setup, a site whose modus operandi is to pick a category of app and review most of the major contenders.
