maybe add:
compilers and VMs;
games development;
media and interactive media production (TV show and movie production, 
FMV games, ...);
DCC (Digital Content Creation) tools (although, commercially, nearly 
this entire industry has been bought up by Autodesk);
...


granted, maybe better than just listing off bunches of stuff, one can 
instead classify it according to taxonomies:

web:
   backend (databases, ...)
   frontend/server (PHP, Python, ...)
   client-side (JavaScript, Flash, ...)
application software:
   GUI based
     data-entry
     office/productivity (MS Office, OpenOffice, ...)
     web-browsers
     graphics-editing tools (Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, ...)
     ...
   Games:
     3D games
        FPS
        modern RPGs
        ...
     2D games
        TBS, RTS, ...
        traditional RPGs
        dungeon crawlers (Diablo, Diablo2, Torchlight, ...)
   Other UI
     DCC tools (Maya / 3DS Max / ...)
software development:
   IDEs (Visual Studio, Eclipse, ...)
   compilers (MSVC, GCC, ...)
   VMs (Java/JVM, .NET, ...)
   scripting VMs (Python, Lua, ...)
   middleware:
     3D engines (Unreal Engine, Quake-family engines, Source, ...)
     libraries (Boost, SDL, GTK+, OpenGL, ...)
systems software:
   OS kernel development
   embedded systems software
...


granted, there are any number of ways one could organize things.


or such...
