Chromium isn't that bad since they switched to aura. It still lives on top of a gtk shim, but doesn't look as awful anymore. Kate has a powerful vim mode, though I don't know about vimrc. I've been trying out lighttable lately (gtk/web), but its vim bindings are awful. > > 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 > Some of those apps are far too specialized to have replacements (like jdownloader). Deluge you can try qbittorrent to replace it with, I found it to be very powerful. Leafpad.. you can try Juffed? As for git guis, the best gui is a cli :) qgit isn't too terrible though. > 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.) > Okular and K3b are two apps I would like to have a very close look at after KF5.
