https://nano-editor.org/
The license-unencumbered version of Pico.
Small, easy. Needs some basic functionality but is still quite useful.
formerly: TIP (TIP Isn't Pico)

Originally called Phoenix, then Firebird.
Shares some code with Thunderbird

was https://code.google.com/archive/p/mrxvt
A terminal emulator which allows tabs.
I could just use Screen, but mrxvt is so much easier to use. =)
See also: rxvt-unicode (rxvt), which is also definitely light.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/notecase/
A cross-platform hierarchical note-taking program.
Seems fair, but I'm using it like I would use multiple files opened with Kate.

An IRC client.
Hey, not bad once it's been configured.
more coming later

http://openbox.org/wiki/Main_Page
A straightforward but powerful window manager.
Openbox has been my window manager of choice for years now. Over that time, I've amassed some significant knowledge which I'll try to maintain here.
A component of LXDE.

vi is a textmode editor. It's so bad even the author regrets it.
For some fucking reason, Linux distributions almost all include it by default.
The only editor I know of which can handle huge files. So horribly horrible though. =(
Ruby-capable, I hear.
more coming later

https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ [ 1 ] was https://web.archive.org/*/http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html
A terminal emulator.
Essential for its compatibility. It also comes with every Linux distribution I've used.

https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
An email client.
POP3, APOP, IMAP4rev1, mh, SMTP, SMTP AUTH, NNTP, SSL/TLS, OpenPGP, external editors, filtering, muliple identities. Good multilanguage and character set support.
Sylpheed is bafflingly bad in places, and Claws Mail was a welcome improvement. This relationship reminds me a lot of PCManFM versus PCManFM-mod (which later became SpaceFM).

A lightweight web browser.
I thought it had hope but needed significant work.
