For me, without a doubt, it's Goddard's IDL Astronomy User's Library
(and not just for the astronomy routines, although it is obviously
geared very heavily to the astronomy set), followed by David's Coyote
library.

I certainly use David's routines a lot but I find that when I sit at a
machine without solarsoft I am totally lost, so that's my vote. It's
not just solar routines, in fact I basically never use the solar part
of it.

I'd have to cast my vote for Craig Markwardt's curve fitting routines.
