KeyPassX is my favorite password client... generates passwords well and saves them. Very easy to use.
And Seamonkey is a pretty righteous browser. It has email built-in and it runs leaner than Firefox on my machines.
Notepad++
Most definitely. My favorite feature in the auto save feature for unsaved files. So even if you close down notepad++ or it crashes (never actually happens) all you stuff is where you left it.
Alfred ( https://www.alfredapp.com ) Alfred is absolutely the most game-changing app I've ever been introduced to. I only use it for finding files, searching, opening a page by direct URL, defining words, calculator, translation (via Google), launching apps, and quickly jumping to apps that are already open. It's probably saved me hundreds of hours in clicking around, etc. I've never purchased the paid version (been…
OneNote. Works for me so much better than Evernote. Excellent cross-platform sync
FB's messenger - everyone should be using this instead of SMS
Long live IRC.
Look at slack... it's IRC with some design in the front, and suddenly everyone loves it! Somehow it's even worth billions!
Irony aside... I miss the good old days of IRC chatting with bots, privileges (please mod me!) and even file sharing :D
MOC. Music on Console. I've been using it forever with no issues of any kind. It's immediate, it's lightweight, it never fails, it works with my files in my hierarchies, it has all the important functions mapped to individual keys. It's brilliant. My wife calls it "nerd mode," which obviously makes it even more appealing.
Synergy. It's a keyboard and mouse sharing client/server application that runs on every platform I use. I don't know if better alternatives exist because it has just been rock-solid for the last 12 years that I've been using it. I've used it in multi-monitor and machine desktop setups (e.g. an Apple laptop paired with a Windows desktop and linux desktop for enterprisey cubicle development), as well as to let me drive…
Eh, maybe it's gotten better since the last time I used it, but I found it to be pretty unreliable.
A month ago, I would've put Winamp on this list. Unfortunately, the lack of updates to it has made it impossible to read on my new 4K laptop. Huge pity, otherwise, as I still love the thing. I wish they'd just open source it so someone can future-proof it for Hi-DPI displays.
Foobar works for me, it has a small memory footprint and it's very customisable

ack instead of grep, most instead of less

GNOME stuff just works, from gnome-builder to gnome-disks to gscan2pdf
