I'm absolutely loving this file manager. Took a bit of getting used to, but I can navigate directories, understand deep file trees, and just generally find things that I'm looking for far faster than I've ever been able to do in a graphical file manager.
vim
This doesn't really need much explaination, I suppose, but I love it and use it every day.
unison
If you're looking for a local dropbox-like replacement that runs anywhere, check this out. It's awesome.
mpsyt
Most portable youtube browser. Great for things like the raspberry pi which don't handle inefficient video streaming in a web browser. Be sure to install with pip to get the latest version, and configure it to search more than just music. As a plus, you can easily download videos in addition to streaming.
youtube-dl
I generally have this setup to download the most recent 3 videos from playlists of channels I watch often, either audio-only or low quality video, because I like watching/listening to things locally/offline and video is huge and ssds are small.
apt-cdrom
Ok, I only use this to initially load repo dvd images into apt, but it's really awesome to be able to install packages offline. This is one of the main reasons I use debian over other distros. I can tinker with my system and install things even when I'm riding a plane, train, or bus, or can't find wifi, or even when I'm hiking/camping, or when internet goes down.
