On our forums somebody posted about trying to implement an n-tier solution, which quickly led into a comment from Jake on design patterns.

So, I’d like to do a little survey.  What design pattern(s) dominate your software models?  What are you really doing?  You can go to this link and view some of the more popular patterns.

Like many of you, abstract factories, factory methods, adapter and template methods dominate my world.  Singletons come in handy, especially for state management, as do many other patterns, but they don’t dominate the structure of my code the way the others do.
