An APT like system for Slackware package management. It allows one to search slackware mirrors and third party sources for packages, compare them with installed packages, install new packages, or upgrade all installed packages. Great for scripting as well.

Does dependency checking!

A straightforward GUI text editor.

I really only use it because I can echo foo|leafpad and launch leafpad with that content.

I usually use Geany

A keyboard-oriented window manager.

Clunky in places, and some things were non-obvious and needed some reading.

My hands hurt after using it for a little while, because the default hotkeys are Wrong. Heck, the defaults aren’t just “not for me”, the defaults are bad. Because of poor documentation, it’s too much work for me to figure out how to customize it the way I want.
