    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    My own favorites would be Pacman, the default package tool for Arch Linux, and vi, the command line text editor.

    I would have to second mutt and links2 and add apt to the list

    [edit]
    And ssh and scp and rsync and vim and nano and...

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    Well, since people are falling over themselves with vim, I guess I have to rescue the poor sod from hell

    emacs-nox (invoke ia emacs -nw) is all you'll ever need.

    Let the barbecue begin!

    Well, sort of. I really prefer ne (the nice editor), as ne has some awesome unicode support. One of my big hobbies is in linguistics. As such, I like my editors to be able to handle a wide array of characters (chinese, hangul, tibetan, hindi, etc...). Vi and the like just don't cut it. All the same, I do not want to be running another OS either, so emacs is out.

    ncmpc++
    elinks
    aria2 (I used to play around with rtorrent and the cli transmission, but this handles everything I need in a cli torrent client as well as regular downloading.)
    screen
    mp3blaster
    feh
    fbida
    cdrecord
    zsh
    ncdu
    bauerbill
    pbget
    vifm
    sshmnt

    I could probably go on, but those I use on a regular to semi-regular basis.
