Since the last thread mysteriously vanished I decided to reboot the list and start from the ground up. You are free to discuss and argue about your favorites and offer suggestions to add the list but please, DO NOT add every program you have ever used in your entire life. I want to keep this short and sweet. If you do offer something, please supply a URL to the OFFICIAL website if you can.
