good question.
i haven't gotten any new softsynths in the past few years, but past ones i've been into (many are cheap/free):
u-he: ace, zebra (modular type synths)
gforce: mtron (mellotron emulator)
native instruments: pretty much anything, but mostly reaktor (modular environment)
gmedia: oddity (arp odyssey emulator), impOSCar (oscar emulator)
arturia: arp 2600, minimoog, CS-80V (synth emulators, the arp2600 especially is really great)
alphakanal: automat (subtractive synth)
korg: ms20, polysix (synth emulators)
pluggo: any (max/msp based devices)
sam: chip32 (wavetable synth)
camel audio: CA5000 (sampling/synthesis)
ndc: some interesting stuff so you should just check them out
check out KVR audio for lots of stuff.
can't think of anymore at the moment that i often use(d) but there's a lot here.

i'm very much in the mindset of finding something interesting, exploring and understanding it, then keeping it in my vocabulary. people still want to use a korg ms20, despite it's age (etc.) - i feel the same way about softsynths. sure there are probably other interesting/better sounding/etc. ones out there, but once i start giving them my personal sound treatments i can make them sound pretty much the way i want.
don't ignore KVR. if you can sort through the bullshit, you can find some cool stuff on there - especially freeware/shareware...
