As some others have said, without the kernel there's nothing and, on top of that, I run everything through bash that is often running in mrxvt which is managed by fvwm running on top of X. So there's all that kind of stuff, including coreutils and posixy stuff. And a zillion shell scripts, functions, aliases, etc., that I couldn't live without but which aren't fit for release and wouldn't mean anything to anybody. After that (only vaguely partly in any order and probably forgetting some vital stuff):

1. vim (vi is posix but I must have vim)
2. file manager (mc for ncurses, rox for gtk)
3. irssi (with dtach)
4. mutt (which has msmtp, getmail, and procmail under it)
5. seamonkey (with adblock, noscript, open in browser, viewsourcewith (which opens vim), etc. and the mail client as an rss reader)
6. slrn
7. mpd+frontend (ncmpc-whatever for ncurses, ario for gtk)
8. virtualbox (so I can test in Slack without gunking up my Slack)
9. git
9b. rsync
9c. cdparanoia
10. sbopkg (Which ultimately relies on pkgtools. Almost 80 posts in and, amazingly no one's mentioned the greatest package management suite anywhere - unless it's just so great and basic it goes without saying, like kernel and shell.)

4) Vim: In the terminal.
5) Kate: Best graphical text editor ever.
6) Koffice: 'Cus OO.o sucks abysmally.
7) Amarok: Runs constantly.
8) Ardour: Okay, so it ain't pro tools... but it costs less!
9) Kaffeine: I don't own a TV.
10) Any one of a dozen or so console programs.
So, gnome user then?

10. Oh, have I mentioned Vim yet?

It bears repeating.
