Small, easy. Needs some basic functionality but is still quite useful.

A terminal emulator which allows tabs.
I could just use Screen, but mrxvt is so much easier to use. =)
- aka materm

See also: rxvt-unicode (rxvt), which is also definitely light.

A cross-platform hierarchical note-taking program.
Seems fair, but I'm using it like I would use multiple files opened with Kate.

abandoned

An IRC client.
Hey, not bad once it's been configured.
I've used XChat on and off, on a couple of distributions. I've never bothered much with IRC though, so my usage is light at best.
more coming later

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.

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.

Essential for its compatibility. It also comes with every Linux distribution I've used.

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).
