I think those are my most used ones:
- vim
- tmux (terminal multiplexer)
- ranger (file manager)
- chromium
- irssi (irc)
- zathura (pdf reader)
- dmenu (launcher)
- git, gcc, make
- find, grep, ls, cd, kill, ps, cat, netcat, touch/mkdir/cp/mv/rm/rmdir, wc, hexdump, tar

I'll just borrow your list, minus a few:

[ne0phyte]

Aww. I just added touch, mkdir and rmdir like a second ago

[Muirium]

We're going low level, I see! What, no love for cd? I like file, myself, is that in the Linux side of the Unix family tree, too?

[ne0phyte]

How could I miss that lol. It feels so natural that I didn't even think of it haha

[Icarium]

vim, emacs
oh yeah bitches :p

[Muirium]

Transmission's a good one. You know, for, um, "downloading .iso distros". I remember when it was just a Mac client, and always on the banned list at various trackers. Come a long way over the years.

[Icarium]

We should probably share not-so-obvious things.
So: fdupes is hands down the best tool for finding duplicate files. There are tons of programs but not one other works reliably. I know this because I recently cleaned up some old drives with this.

[JBert]

Hmm, I tend to use a lot of software which is multi-platform, but here it goes:

- Vim
- Zsh
- wxHexEditor
- Kupfer (Launchy alternative, though nearly unmaintained)
- git cola
- guake or tilda, depending on what I fancy at some point.
- Clementine (GTK alternative for Amarok)
- DoubleCmd
- qBittorrent
- ELinks

[wheybags]

cmake - best build system evar (srsly though, an order of magnitude better than the cancer that is autotools, and raw makefiles are... well)

also, y no wm ;_;
But yeah, also irssi, and +1 to tmux, git and vim

[Hypersphere]

[matt3o]

imagemagick, I really couldn't live without it. optipng is also a good one.

of course node.js and rsync.

[wheybags]

plz no js ;_;
plz noooo

[Muirium]

The cool kids are all on Node. Before that it was Rails. It ain't in fashion until it's down to a one-word name. The shorter and less descriptive the better.

[matt3o]

apart from the fact that Rails sucks of course

PS: what's wrong with JS?

[Mrinterface]

vim

tmux

pushd/popd

[wheybags]

Js is an absolute mess ;_;
The whole thing is so inconsistent - maybe you can not put a semicolon here, maybe not it depends lol
The object syntax feels even more tacked on than c++
Callbacksfor FUCKING EVERYTHING even when I actually really want to just goddamn block

[matt3o]

reminds me of binary code developers arguing about assembly and assembly developers arguing about C and C developers...

but yeah I mostly agree.

[Muirium]

Sounds like the mainstream Linux user to me…

[matt3o]

it just happened with Apple's Swift, developers are lazy, they want to use the same code and the same language forever.

[DerpyDash_xAD]

tmux, pacman, ttytter, irssi, zsh, ranger and elinks

I love eLinks and tmux soo much, I only wish for tmux graphical interface

[wheybags]

People actually use elinks? O.o

[Muirium]

Don't forget Lynx…

http://mosh.mit.edu/ is amazing btw, like ssh but uses udp and is optimised for a shit connection.
No more typing lag - it local echoes characters underlined immediately when you type them, and the underscores disappear as it arrives at the server.

That seems dangerous.
