I'm a geek:
vi
ncftp
mozilla (seamonkey)
balsa (or some other email client)
ssh
That's a short list, but that's about it all I ever use, other than stuff I wrote.
Actually the number one software I can't live without would have to be
Strongbox, because without Strongbox I don't get paid and I don't eat.
