I’d use quite different commands (like labels completion).

pdflatex

Skim.app

Environment Based on Current Word
   very often
   for theorems, lemmata, definitions, examples, images...
   with some self-made environment
Citation Based on Current Word
   for about any citation
LaTeX Symbol Based on Current Word
   whenever I need to use greek characters that I somehow relate to a  
latin one
   thus not that often

Most of the remaining time, I just use ⎋ to complete as I have a  
whole lot of
self-defined LaTeX macros and usually don’t reference labels between
files.

 > 4. Do you use any of the snippets?

Sectioning
   whenever I introduce a new section (obviously)
Cross-reference
   a very little, and usually for images only

 > 5. What commands (besides ⌘R) do you use the most often?

Wrap selection in math mode ($s for math mode are evil)
   permanently
   especially for \( \)
   but still for \[ \]
   actually mapped to ⌘⇧M (I don’t care about TM macros)
Some formatting commands
   mainly emphasise. I should learn the others.

 > 6. Anything that you'd miss terribly if it was removed?

Well, anything that is marked a “I use it often” earlier, of course.
Some buttons in Typesetting window whenever I messed up the code  
somewhere.
   Love to clean up then re-run that way. Probably because edit window
   lost focus when I checked the errors.
Master files (but why the hell would you want to remove that?)
