In case it helps, here are my apps along with a rationale for why I use
them.
(I can't get a meaningful output via your method since many of them
aren't kept resident and your method doesn't distinguish between
long-running processes and resource-heavy ones.)
Stuck with:
- Basket Note Pads 1.x from TDE (Qt 3.x. my data crashes KDE4 BasKet)
- Firefox (Not even Chrome can replicate my extensions and XUL CSS)
- Chromium and Opera 12.x (testing my creations)
- gVim (console vim's keybinding and colour scheme are crippled and
nothing else I know will accept my .vimrc)
Note: I may eventually write an HTML+JS BasKet clone and import my data.
Potentially replaceable non-Qt4/5 apps:
- Audacious Media Player
- ChmSee (convince Ubuntu to build Okular with CHM support enabled)
- Comix (I'm particular about my UI)
- Deluge (KTorrent is a pig and Transmission is a cripple.)
- File-Roller (Add "total unpacked size" to Ark's UI and we'll talk)
- gCDEmu
- Git GUI (I'm open to replacements... but it's harder than it looks)
- GQView/Geeqie (I'm very picky about incremental image load behaviour)
- guvcview
- JDownloader (AFAIK it's using SWT on top of GTK+)
- Leafpad (Replacement must start instantly when in disk cache)
- Parcellite
- PCManFM-GTK
- Pidgin (Empathy is insufficiently featureful)
- Thunderbird (too buggy. working on replacing it with custom web apps)
- urxvt (Find me something else ultra-lightweight with a Yakuake plugin)
- XPad
Potentially replaceable KDE4 apps:
- Filelight (Must cache results while navigating unlike Baobab)
- K3b (still only burning app that Just Works™ without crashes)
- KDiff3
- KRename (Infrequently used but hard to match when I need it)
- Okular (Find me something else that does PDF, ePub, CHM, and offers
"select rendered region" image and text copy-paste support.
Also must have an "ignore PDF DRM" checkbox to be considered.)
- Tellico (One of these days, I want to write a replacement.)
For Audacious, I'm stuck with Audacious Media Player 3.4.x unless you
know of another player with FFmpeg, ModPlug, Game_Music_Emu, AdPlug,
external MIDI, OpenPSF, WavPack, SID, and libsndfile backends.
(And I do mean 3.4.x. They removed external MIDI support in 3.5.x to
simplify the codebase and I'm not willing to make the resource trade-off
between FluidSynth stuttering and desktop stuttering when I have a
perfectly good Yamaha PSR-E413 MIDI keyboard next to me.)
A UADE backend would also be appreciated but, since the developers are
assholes, I'm not holding out hope. (Audacious devs like to keep their
plugins in-tree. The UADE devs promised to break their API with every
release if the Audacious devs imported their plugin. The Audacious
plugin in the UADE tree has since bitrotted and doesn't work with modern
Audacious.)
For Comix, I'm particular about my UI to the point where I'm running the
unmaintained Comix because I don't have time to patch away what I see as
UI regressions (eg. ugly new icon, bloated context menu, etc.) in the
maintained MComix fork.
For GQView, a replacement must satisfy the following constraints:
1. Must have incremental load behaviour fine-tuned enough that I can
spin the scroll wheel and browse through images by the 5-10% that
renders before the next wheel click arrives.
(Every other image viewer I've found either forces me to wait before
acknowledging the wheel click or skips some images entirely)
2. Should a viewer be written/patched up which satisfies constraint #1,
it must have support for mechanisms similar to GQView collections,
pausable slideshows so I can randomly traverse a collection of
images, and a similar three-pane UI with support for rename, copy,
move, and deletion of files and folders.
For JDownloader, I seriously doubt a replacement exists with such an
actively maintained collection of backends for automating everything but
CAPTCHA typing on free file hosts.
