Sometimes knowing what other users use helps us for two reasons: First, because maybe we know a tool or application that we did not think existed. Second, because we get a little closer and know our tastes and preferences. As I started this thread, I start by talking about my favorite applications.
Navigator
Something that can not be missing. An application that I have open all day. Of course, although I have installed rekonq, Chromium, Konqueror, the one who always accompanies me to is Firefox.
The browser for me is a super addictive application, which although it helps me (among other things) to publish in DesdeLinux, it has the power to reduce my productivity to zero, especially when the time between news sites is running out.
Mail Client
Many don't use it, I do. Another application that greatly affects my productivity in some cases, and that I always have open knowing that its notifications distract me. The problem is that I always think that some important message will reach me that I cannot read late. Yes, I know, I have to get over it.
I had always used Thunderbird, which for me is the most complete email client when certain extensions are used. But as I work with KDEWell, nothing, integration is what I need and with KMail I am left over, plus it consumes less than Thunderbird.
Instant messaging
For my daily work I need to be connected with my users, therefore, an IM client cannot be missing. In this case, I have never been able to detach myself from PidginWell, they have options that no other client has, or rather, they don't offer them the way I want them.
With support for HTTP Proxy and Sock Proxy, I control my accounts from Hello, XMPP (Enterprise), XMPP (DesdeLinux), Gtalk, Facebook and occasionally Yahoo Messenger. Yes, another application that bothers with its notifications and that I have open all day.
IRC Client
For this I use Quassel. I open it occasionally, especially to find out about certain news on the project channels that interest me. Speaking of IRC, we have to resume «the debates» on our IRC channel, which is a bit abandoned «Damn social networks ... with how cool it is to communicate like in the old days ... ¬_¬
Twitter, Identica and other social demons
This type of service is addictive in many cases. For me, they are a quick source of news and if I can have all my accounts in one place, all the better. For this I use choqok, which is for me so far, the best client that exists for these social networks.
I have recently seen that they have released a version of Gwibber written in QT / QML, so it is pending to be tested. hotot I love it (also with its Qt version), but I can't manage more than one account at the same time.
Music and Video Player
Out of 8 hours of my workday, I spend at least 7 listening to music, unless I need to do something that requires too much concentration. It doesn't matter what type of music, I listen to everything, and for that I usually use Clementine, although lately I am adjusting to Juk.
For the videos, I have plenty of Dragon player, but when it gets a little annoying, well VLC it is always there.
Console Emulator
I will always, always need to use the console, especially for connections SSH and I work with my servers. The least intrusive possible is Yakuake, a terminal emulator that hides even though it is always open 😀
Games
When I want to waste my time conscientiously, because for that I have installed openarena, Freets On Fire, frogatto, supertuxkart, Assaultcube, XMoto... and those that come by default in KDE.
Graphics
To view images use Gwenview, to edit them GIMP and to lay out websites or make any other type of graphics then Inkscape.
Other applications and utilities
When I want to burn a CD / DVD, extract audio from them and others, because I use the best there is for this in GNU / Linux: K3B, and whoever says otherwise, does not know what U_U says
Use voko screen to create Screencast, LibreOffice y Calligra for office work (which I hardly ever do), KeepassX to manage my passwords, Virtualbox for my test servers and Cryptkeeper to hide the pr0n xDDD.
In the terminal I also frequently use:
- MC: To manage my files easily.
- Less: to move comfortably through the MAN
- RCConf: To control my demons
- Screen: To move processes to the background
- Corkscrew: For things that are not relevant now 😀
- debmirror: To make my copies of repositories
- Rsync: Because it's the best there is.
- SSH: For obvious reasons.
- Wget: To download things
- IPCalc: For working with IPs
- HTop: To control resource consumption
- Nano y Vim: To edit files.
I don't think I have anything else left. And what do you use?
Well, since the question is generic (I assume that those of us who use proprietary software can also contribute, not XD) here I go:
browser: Firefox first! Chrome, Safari, Opera & IE for testing
mail client: Thunderbird
instant messaging: it would become Google Talk
IRC client: do not use!
social networks: no client, online access or their respective apps for the mobile
rep. music & video: WinAmp, iTunes & Media Player Classic
console emulator: LoL, damn I use Windows ... but let's say CMD
games: Diablo 3, StarCraft II, Machinarium
graphics: Photoshop, Inkscape
development: Dreamweaver, Komposer & MS Visual Studio
others: JEdit, WAMP, Filezilla
Hahaha, chu chuuuuu .. we don't want bad habits around here .. xDDD
hahaha but if you look there is a mixture of free + exclusive in my tastes for daily use! And I forgot to mention OpenOffice and VirtualBox
cmd? lololololololol
powershell is slightly better than cmd
I'm more or less the same as you, except in multimedia since I use VLC (I have Mplayer, but I don't even touch it) for videos and XMMS and GMPD for music.
To edit Nano and Leafpad texts, such as IDE for Python, HTML, etc. Geany, games like Battle for Wesnoth, Warzone 2100, the ones I mentioned in the last entry I made on Steam plus Beat Hazard, Liferea to be the last of several blogs , comics, etc
Browser: Firefox. When I need another browser, or on rare occasions: rekonq.
Mail client: on my computer I use webmail, although at work (Windows) I use Thunderbird and I really like it. I have considered using KMail with IMAP but I would have to always have it open (with the consequent consumption of resources), with several email accounts, occupying a hard disk ... At the moment with X-Notifier in Firefox I am doing quite well.
Instant Messaging and IRC: I have Quassel and Telepathy-KDE but I don't use them.
Social demons: I use the websites, no client gives you all the functionality that the social network websites have.
Audio and music players:
Before I used Amarok but I switched to Clementine (following Amarok evolutions). I'm curious, what advantages does Juk offer over Clementine? I tried it a long time ago above and it seems more simplistic to me.
SMPlayer is the best I've ever tried. He lacks polishing things but for my day to day things are perfect for me. To watch DVDs and in "support" plan I use VLC. DragonPlayer seems pretty lacking to me.

Friend, is it that you use Links or another browser CLI or why it did not recognize your OS or your browser? XD
Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird, Transmission, Gummi, MPD + Cantata, Kopete, Konversation, BasKet, Ark, Yakuake, Conky, Minitube, EasyTag, VLC, KMplayer, Okular, Inkscape.
ok, this at home,
irssi screen
Guake Tilda -> zsh
xmms ncmpcpp – moc
amulegui BitTorrent-WebUI -> transmission aMUle
mc nautilus scp
vlc mplayer smplayer
VMWorkstation - Xen - chroot
geany nano
nginx mysql -> w @ rpress -> wpomatic (it's easier to have everything in one place via Rss)
Thunderbird - Firefox - skype - dropbox \ ubuntu-one /
foxit-reader -> cups to create via printer or direct export
wine -> winrar office -X- Libreoffice
remmin ssh realvnc
This goes in three teams (physical) more or less with the idea of the load of each one comes out or more or less than each one does.
Arch and Debian (still mostly at home although an openbsd replaced it as a firewall pf rules 😛)
out of SecureCrt powershell -> pity that what I do I can't do it outside of windows, except for the @ b @ qus which is indistinct
and good when I can minecraft, (the best graphics)
Well I use Windows and OpenSUSE, so I will put both XD
In both I use Opera as the main browser, mail manager, feed reader and instant messaging (Well, the latter, with a function that Opera has to embed a web page as a panel, there I have imo.im inserted)
For documents, Google Drive on both OS
Music, Amarok on OpenSUSE and AIMP3 on Windows.
Console, Yakuake RLZ! (and CMD on Windows. XD)
Games, in Linux I don't have: \ Kmines count? XD On Windows, well, any pirate game on duty 😛
I am a fan of GIMP, and I use it on both OS. Although in Windows I have to have Photoshop and Flash installed. Of vector graphics, for now, none.
To burn K3B and Astroburn DVDs on Windows.
Video player, SMPlayer on both OS, with SMTube to directly view YouTube videos on SMPlayer.
Comic Reader: Comic Seer for both OS.
Video converter, one called Video converter Factory, is for Windows, but Wine emulates it very well (since I haven't found any video converter that convinces me in Linux).
KTorrent and µTorrent on Win and Lin respectively, along with JDownloader for direct downloads.
Social networks (only Google+) directly from the browser (And no, G + is not a desert as everyone says)
And well, I can't think of more. XD
I try to use GTK as little as possible <_
Google Chrome
Kate
Yarock (A music player that I met yesterday but it was love at first sight xD)

Almost everything I use goes through my browser · or · /)
I use Firefox for practically everything, communication, office automation, feeds, music, video, and almost everything running on my own cloud with ownCloud and some extras. The tasks that are kept on the desktop are development, design, and sometimes play, and in those areas I use:
IDE: Eclipse (in various flavors, depends on what you are doing)
UML: Day
Version control: SmartGit
Database Administration and Modeling: MySQL Workbench
Visualization: VirtualBox
Bitmap editor: GIMP
Vector editor: Inkscape
Play: Steam 😉
DE: Gnome-shell = p
I only use the terminal for two things: fix the system when it breaks, or connect to remote machines by ssh.
OK let's see:
Browser: Firefox
Instant messaging - what is that ???? LOL
Mail client: I don't use (I could never get used to it)
RSS: brief, FF extension
IRC: Conversation
Downloads: Ktorrent
Social networks: Choqok
Music and video: Amarok and VLC
Console: only to install
Games: not on PC
Graphics: none
Office automation: LibreOffice, for everything and constantly.
Outside of that, also k3b, okular, marble
I like this type of post! Well let's see, despite suffering from acute dystro-hoppertitis I am always faithful to the applications I use.
* Browser: I am currently with Rekonq (I decided to give him his chance) And boy am I not disappointed! Just a few minor inconveniences when loading Facebook and I still don't know how to modify the UserAgent to add Kubuntu 12.10.
* Office: Well maybe Libreoffice, maybe. The reason is that I hardly open writer anymore, except on rare occasions. This is because I discovered Tex Live + Kile and fell in love. Very powerful tool at the time of writing! Obviously I still depend on the Calc sheets. XD
* Music: Currently I have become addicted to the Grooveshark service, but because it depends on a network connection, for those moments when I am isolated from the world I have Amarok.
* Social Networks: Hotot came like a ray of light to my life 🙂 Beautiful and simple.
* Games: Ksudoku ❤ Just that.
* Graphics in general: GIMP, Okular, Gwenview, Draftsight. (Not much to say in this category)
* Other applications: Due to my career I also have software (both free and proprietary) for the processing of digital and seismic signals. I have Seismic Un * x (powerful meta language), Madagascar, ObsPy as well as SeisUP, among others.
It is for this and more that I love GNU / Linux, for the large number of interesting and useful applications it offers
PS: Firefox appears due to the problem that I present with the Rekonq xD User Agent, I hope to solve it soon.
Hahahaha This entry is for the forum!
First of all I clarify I use AwesomeWM 😀
Browser: dwb
Mail client: mutt
Messaging: pidgin
Music Player: mpd + ncmpcpp
Video player: mplayer
Console emulator: urxvt
Games: SuperTuxKart (I love this game) vitetris
Graphics: Feh, Gimp, InkScape, Drawing (libreoffice)
CDs and DVDs: xfburn (I'm designing one to integrate with AwesomeWM)
Office automation: Libreoffice.
Compressor: Atool
Partition editor: I manage them by terminal
File Manager: Vifm
Others: Vim, Snownews, mupdf, rtorrent, youtube-dl ufff a lot of applications for terminal 🙂
I am missing something
development: Vim
hahahahaha 😛
You said you use awesome why don't you edit your useragent so the logo appears in your comments?
It doesn't have support, neither my browser nor my WM hahaha obviously I don't use Safari® hahahahahaha 😛 only the distro is correct although Mr. Gaara del Desierto said that he needed the icon in .svg (in fact I did it fast in inkscape a long time ago but not I have given it)

Office: LibreO (alike)
And already the things that I prefer over the windows options:
Brasero (Nero is no longer what he used to be, besides that I have roe to be putting cracks)
GnomePlayer (VLC doesn't quite convince me)
Rythmbox (I listen to internet radio a lot and I don't like doing it through the browser)
Gwibber and Empathy (yes, in windows it is rare for me to chat or update statuses)
As you can see, to put myself at leisure I prefer linux! xD
I do the same as the other users, but I make my LXDE desktop more useful with:
COPPER
TINT2
COMPIX
For me the main thing is a good useful, dynamic and fast return. Then each one chooses according to their needs.

And ... I use everything, depending on the environment I use, and as always I walk with Linux and Windows, to see if we combine a pco:
Browser: Firefox (Fedora and Win8)
Instant messaging: Skype (on both)
Mail client: Evolution (Fedora), Outlook (Win8).
RSS: I don't use, I take advantage of my twitter account.
IRC: Nope.
Downloads: Bittorrent (Fedora and Win8)
Social networks: Turpial (Linux); Twitter (Win8)
Music and video: VLC
Console: default.
Games: board (on Fedora); Return to Castle Wolfenstein and all AOEs on Win8.
Graphics: Gimp (on Fedora and Win8); Pinta (Fedora); Jasc Paint Shop Pro (Win8).
Office automation: LibreOffice (on Fedora and Win8); MS Office 2007 (Win8).
Others: Scribus (on Fedora and Win8); Soundconverter (Fedora); K3b (Fedora).
As you can see, as far as possible, I do not use Wine in any distro, nor virtual machines (I absolutely detest them); since I prefer to use each thing in its native environment.

excuse me
Why did they delete my comment ???
I only made the recommendation to use "Ranger", if the problem was the link I put, they would only have removed it.
I do not have a blog nor do I know who made the entry.
Maybe your comment was automatically marked as Spam. I don't think they censored it. I have written many things and they have never censored me.
I did not do it in bad faith, I did not know that you cannot put links.
Anyway I recommend "Ranger", file manager in console, the best that exists for this, try it.
if you want, make an entry about it

Let's go there xD
- Browser: Unquestionably Firefox. I also usually have a second browser in the bedroom, which apart from Konqueror that already comes with KDE in OpenSUSE, I used to install Chromium, but since the second on board is a browser that I use only very sporadically, I thought it was not necessary to have a browser that would occupy the Chromium (which installed takes more than 300 MB, compared to about 50 MB for Firefox), so since I updated to OpenSUSE 12.3 I have decided to install Qupzilla, which also uses WebKit and is extremely lightweight.
- Mail client: I have always been using the web client of my mail service on duty, and I have never seen it necessary to use a local application for this, in addition to the fact that the mail storage would occupy a space that I think is unnecessary in my local disk.
- Instant messaging: In my beginnings in Linux, and for obvious reasons coming from Windows, I used aMSN. Later, when I started to worry about the integration of applications with the desktop, I started using KMess. But for some time now, especially due to the boom in social networks, MSN began to fall into disuse, so integrated chats in social networks together with Telepathy for KDE are my current options.
- IRC client: I do not use, nor have I used, nor do I plan to use it.
- Social demons: The first one I used was Gwibber on Ubuntu. Then I discovered Choqok. But some time ago I realized that I really did not need it, being able to access the website from the browser itself and being able to access the tracking suggestions and such from there, so I decided to save this application too.
- Music and video player: Although I have used different music players (Banshee, Rhythmbox, Exaile, Clementine ...), my default player since my arrival to Linux is Amarok, although in the last year I have been giving Clementine a chance, which It's great, but I've gotten used to Amarok by now and it will be difficult for me to move from it at the moment.
As a video player I usually use UMPlayer, which is very complete, it takes less time to open than VLC and also allows you to view YouTube videos from its interface. As a rescue player I have VLC.
- Console emulator: I usually use the one that comes by default with the desktop environment, in my case, as I use KDE, because I use Konsole. I don't complicate my life here.
- Games: I am not fond of any particular game that is available for Linux.
- Graphics: Gwenview to view images. GIMP for editing, although to make quick image cropping I do it from Gwenview itself, and Inkscape to make designs of banners, symbols or icons.
- Office: LibreOffice for creating documents, tables, etc. Okular to view PDF documents.
- Multimedia editing tools: Audacity for editing audio tracks. SoundKonverter for converting between audio formats, although other times I have combined it with AudioKonverter, which although it has fewer options than SoundKonverter, integrates perfectly with Dolphin.
For the audio extraction of the CDs, I can use, as it comes to me at the time, either the excellent K3B or, again, SoundKonverter.
Kid3 for tag editing of audio files.
- CD / DVD recording: K3B, indisputably.
- P2P: aMule, qBittorrent and JDownloader.
- Other tools: VirtualBox for virtualization, Wuala, SpiderOak and Dropbox clients / daemons as cloud storage services, Kate for editing text files (I have also used it for creating html files, C language, etc.), and finally SUSE Imagewriter and live-fat-stick (Unetbootin as a last resort) to create bootable USB drives.
I don't know if I forgot something, but that is generally my work material.
