VMWare appears to be working for me, including a Windows 7 VM. I initially had a black screen for that VM but after shutting down and restarting the VM it is working. It does appear to be using a fair amount of CPU.
Working:
Ableton Live 10 Lite
Audio Hijack*
Bartender 3
CleanMyMac X
Dropbox
Farrago*
Final Cut Pro X
Fission*
IStat Menus
Logic Pro X
Native Access
Maschine 2 (and all other NI apps/plugins I tested)
Notability
Piezo*
Shazam
Speedtest
Splice
The Unarchiver
Tooth Fairy
Transmission
Tweetbot
VLC
* - (gives warning that OS is unsupported but allows bypass and works)
Not working:
Loopback
OpenEmu
Sound Source 4

Steam actually supports 64bit since quite a while ago, but it doesn't completely apply for those who already have installed since the 32bit version.
So you just have to reinstall it from the download page and it should work on Catalina as well.

Steam actually consists of two parts: a launcher (which is the thing you see in /Applications or whereever you installed it) and the actual client, which is buried within Steam's Application Support folder. The latter has been 64-bit for quite a while already, the launcher wasn't. The launcher also doesn't get updated automatically, which might explain the discrepancies some people here see.
I downloaded it just to check and ... nope. It doesn't give the standard "this is 32-bit crap" message but it still doesn't work (there is no later version).

Has anyone been able to use virtual box on Catalina?
Ive tried to use a windows 10 VM and each time after about 2 minutes it will crash. My VM currently is sitting in the virtual machine manager with the aborted state due to all the crashing and improper shutdowns due to the crashing.

Working? Not working?
Not working for me as MacOS won't open it and refuses to add an exception in Sys Prefs / Security.
OK, forced it to run by using "sudo spctl --master-disable" in the terminal and now it works. I'd rather not have to do this though.

Anyone else have an issue with iPassword 7 and it's Safari extension? The extension seems to have been removed during the Catalina installation and no obvious way to reinstall it.
Scratch that: it just started working and the extension is now installed.

Has anyone tried X11/XQuartz yet? I depend on this heavily for work.

You might be able to get it to run without disabling Gatekeeper completely with these commands, from the spctl man page:
EXAMPLES
To check whether Mail.app is allowed to run on the local system:
spctl -a /Applications/Mail.app
To allow Frobozz.app to run on the local system:
spctl --add --label "My Stuff" /Applications/Frobozz.app
To forbid all code obtained from the Mac App Store from running:
spctl --disable --label "Mac App Store"

Ugh, oh no. I use Qemu heavily. Is there any way around that message?Ugh Qemu.... Gatekeeper hell.... dylibs from unknown developers need to all be approved for "security" reasons..
Qemu so far is not working (used for emulating OS 9.2 etc)
