An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.

Though it can do other stuff, I use this to edit ISO images meant to be burned to a CD or DVD, to make them appropriate for copying to, and booting from, a USB stick.

Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

I’ve used it with Blackbox, xfwm, Openbox, etc. It’s wonderful. It’s also the only KDE-compatible tray which I’ve seen.
Fantastic.

A straightforward GUI text editor.
I really only use it because I can echo foo|leafpad and launch leafpad with that content.
