Not sure about Rox-desktop, it seems to be incomplete, difficult to use, and mostly dead; but the file manager is great. It mounts volumes, manages files and permissions, launches applications, even looks pretty. I find standalone window managers to be horribly incomplete without it.
(It's also unmaintained upstream, as of right now. Too bad, hopefully someone will pick up the development... Heck, I would if I had a better grasp of C.)
Very simple and intuitive to use. True console freaks will hate it, I guess. ;-)

I wanted to like Calcurse but it was too limited in functionality for me. Perhaps things have changed since I tried it; I'm not sure. I now use remind+wyrd for calendaring and taskwarrior for tasks. remind is often needlessly complex but at least for me that beats functionally limited.

Are you sure it's not maintained ? I see that a new AddApp was released this year. I think it's just that development is slow. Yes, it is. But, Rox-Filer, Archive, and probably other apps work fine. Since many of them are written in python, they're easily adaptable. For example I changed Archive to use 7zip instead of other things, and to support xz.
Nice thread, learned some stuff, kudos for tmux, dict, and others.
I use fluxbox, so for some limited tiling action, there's: Tile
By using .fluxbox/keys, or xbindkeys (agreed, nice), you can easify stuff (also for xrandr on netbook, for reading ebooks.)
Userspace bandwidth shaper: Trickle
mentioned in these parts a few times....
Uploading/Downloading for popular filehosts (rs, mu, etc) via cli: Plowshare

Hi mrclisdue,
Any chance you could post your "~/.fluxbox/keys" file and xbindkeys config file (if it requires one)?
FileRunner filemanager with ftp, two pane and my all time favorite app.
MOC music on console, another cli music player and the only one I use in any environment.
xfontsel and many of the apps beginning with x such as xcalc , xlxsfonts, xload xmag.
also, a couple of tiny scripts which pop-up a message in a terminal, to tell me when 1h 30 minutes is up, to go get my beer out of the freezer - perfectly chilled.
