My stock of Citadel paints is gradually being replaced by Vallejio. (Oh how I still mourn the loss of Devlin Mud)

Vallejo mostly (almost entirely)

Some Army Painter, both sprays and pots of paint.

Craft paints for terrain.

I still have a few of the older GW coloured washes, but generally moved away from GW paints, too expensive and dry up too easily.

You've missed a few paint manufacturers and I regularly use more than two of them so not able to do your poll.
My Ego forbids a signature.

Subedai

It'll be quicker to list them:
Mostly Vallejo
some GW,
some Coat d'Armes,
some Poundland Matt enamels (white and black for undercoat) and their enamel gloss varnish,
some Anita (acrylic hobby paints from the Works back last century),
some Crafter's Choice (modern day Works versions of Anita),
some Miniature Paints,
some Humbrol acrylics (but not many -too grainy)
Daler Rowney enamel matt varnish
Brown or black Magic Wash aaannnddd
Homebase specialty mix for bases

Voted for the two on the list I use for a few things, Testors and Craft Acrylics.
Most of what I do is Vallejo (mostly) and artist tube acrylics (some).
Oh! And one bottle of very old (yet amazingly still liquid) PollyS rust for pike shafts.
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Leman

Vallejo and Foundry, as well as some American acrylics and Liverpool's very own Miniature Paints. Didn't even know Ral Partha did paints, and I did actually did use interior house paint for my WOR bases (blame Peter Pig for that, but it turned out ok). My Spanish genes are upset about Vallejo being left out (using Spanish pronunciation the word sounds like a request to purchase a copy of the Liverpool Echo).
The artist formerly known as Dour Puritan!

Duke Speedy of Leighton

And another thing...
Shouldn't it be 'Yell it from LEAD mountain top'?
