I love this game! I'm a sys admin and not so much a developer, so my answers are going to be a little different:
Window Manager = dwm File Manager = bash (rarely: pcmanfm) Text Editor = vim (usually in vi mode) or nvi Scripting = bash or perl Calendar / Todo = wyrd File search = find | grep SCM = depends on the project; usually svn or git E-Mail = various web interfaces* Music = sansa e280 Chat = irssi + bitlbee Terminal = sakura Gaming = crayons + two-year-old son * - I use web interfaces because we seem to lack a worthwhile console-based e-mail client. mutt, alpine, cone, etc are all travesties of overbuilt and underdesigned software -- not one of them handles multiple imap connections in any sane manner. the closest thing I've found to usable software is sup[1] but it's pretty uncomfortable and buggy. I'm putting my own mua together with c and ncurses, but again, I'm not really a dev so it's taking a while :) # Kurt H Maier
