Scribus:
Scribus is an open source desktop page layout program with the aim of
producing commercial grade output in PDF and Postscript, primarily, though
not exclusively for Linux.
evince-gtk is better than xpdf.
No reason to have both abiword and openoffice.

You might want something like:
vim-vimoutliner - script for building an outline editor on top of Vim
vym - mindmapping tool

cream is my favorite editor.
Description: VIM macros that make the VIM easier to use for beginners
Cream's motto is "Cream makes the powerful Vim text editor easy!". It brings
a completely different look and feel to the VIM for those who are used to more
intuitive editors while still preserving the more powerful features of VIM.
It features pull-down menus, color themes, bookmarking, auto spellcheck and
more. It leaves the default VIM untouched and is started by running 'cream'.

I use osmo.
Description: personal organizer for GTK+
Osmo is a personal organizer, which includes calendar, task
manager and address book modules. It aims to be easy to use and
configurable to meet the user's preferences.

I've got a lot of cool apps in this one "PocketWriter" Linux
should I do the acronym thing and call it PWL?

after mksquash'n this one I'll drop the apps list
