Sublime Text Files auto save, so a crash, or even accidental close will not cause you to lose anything. Also handles massive files, which is nice. On top of being a nice, very configurable code editor,
For something with a GUI: Gmail.

moc - Music On Console, use mocp to spwan it and you can also detach again. Never used another music player afterwards. youtube-dl ack instead of grep, most instead of less tor GNOME stuff just works, from gnome-builder to gnome-disks to gscan2pdf
Probably the most off the wall choice in this thread, but I say HP Scan and Capture: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/hp-scan-and-captu... It's a Metro app for Windows 8.1 and up to scan with HP scanners. I love it because it just works , which has never been my experience with scanning[0]. You press a button, it scans whatever's on the tray. You can tweak resolution if you want. And at the end you save it…

FB's messenger - everyone should be using this instead of SMS
I liked having my phone battery last more than an hour on a full charge, so I will never install that POS again.
Nobody has mentioned screen. This is unacceptable! screen is extremely reliable and useful.

It does work very well though.
1Password on Mac - phenomenal UX, all around joy to use Not as pleased with the Windows version, but it's serviceable
Starting from the top, I think you're the first person to mention user experience. Man, this topic has done nothing but remind me how far I am outside the "software development mainstream". Vim? Git? Are there seriously that many developers who enjoy using such unusable software?
