The Linux world is full of people with superiority complexes who put users down for liking user-friendly tools. Disregard them and use what works for you - that's what the whole ecosystem is all about!
That said, vim4lyfe.

I still need a vim keycap.
Anyway:
vim (vimwiki, airline)
urxvt
screen (I've never really seen the advantages of tmux)
mpv (a mplayer fork, more features, more active development)
mpd + ncmpcpp
irssi
redshift
Evolution
mosh
dwb (the best lightweight browser I've tried so far. Customizability is amazing as well)
Oh and now that somebody mentioned youtube-dl: youtube-viewer. It's a package on Arch. It's a small perl program allowing you to view youtube videos from the console. It has a search feature and uses mplayer to play the video.

Nano is great for what it is. At this point I'm not very used to it and I screw up more than I do in vi/vim But the biggest reason I thought it was worth learning is just that it's on practically everything I've ever come in contact with in my career. Most linux boxes come with nano but I did at one point have to work with some BSD derivatives and knowing the basics of vi made it a lot easier.Uncleleech wrote: ↑I keep getting called a noob for this but I really like nano for simple text editing. I see the plusses of Vim and all of that but for just changing one link of a config I really like nano.
I also enjoy the youtube-dl terminal app.

Rawstudio. It's about as simple as UFRaw, but the experience feels much smoother, and it's quite user friendly compared to Darktable. I still want to try AfterShot Pro some day though.

http://surf.suckless.org
http://www.uzbl.org/
I also like ST
http://st.suckless.org/
when i do boot up the old Linux box ( not as much as i would like )they are my staples
Apologies if this conflicts with the no DE or WM but this i technically a terminal multiplexer
http://tmux.sourceforge.net/
If you are like me and want to do as many things as possible from the command line( as its faster and why use resources on a computer when you don't need to) you may find the flowing very interesting, i know i do

Great suggestions here. My additions:
- ranger From the archwiki: "ranger is a text-based file manager written in Python. Directories are displayed in one pane with three columns. Moving between them is accomplished with keystrokes, bookmarks, the mouse or the command history. File previews and directory contents show automatically for the current selection."

I like nano! And I still use a terminal and pine (now alpine) for my email client; pine and alpine use nano commands.

Hyper, I'm about to install a local email client. I was thinking mutt+offlineimap. Did you use mutt as well? Perhaps alpine is better?Hypersphere wrote: ↑I like nano! And I still use a terminal and pine (now alpine) for my email client; pine and alpine use nano commands.

I recommend you do NOT use offlineimap as it's simply a mess.
Have a look at mbsync (http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html) instead. Works very well.

I'll look into mbsync, thanks for the suggestion. My employer uses a &^$%# Exchange server POP3 is blocked. The web client (outlook web access) sucks beyond belief. I'd like to have the emails locally plus Gmail. Some form of downloading is needed (I was thinking offlineimap, but I'll look at mbsync), plus I need to properly "bounce" them to Gmail, that is: send forward, but maintain the original sender. It's also called redirect. mutt does that, I'll see if alpine has that possibility as well.
