RE: [gentoo-user] recommended applications

[Franz Fellner <alpine.art.de@gmail.com>]

I use: 

* ranger for file management (if I need a file manager); tried MC which I didn't like.
  Tried to use krusader (which also is a commander-like FM for kde), but it also never worked for me...
  I just have no need for a split view in 99% of the cases, and ranger IMHO uses the space uch better.: 
* notmuch + offlineimap (with an eye on isync) + msmtp for mail - there is also a notmuch extension for mutt: 
* feh as image viewer: 
* llpp for pdfs (occasionally qpdfview and evince, if I feel like it): 
* urxvt as terminal: 
* vim as an editor (with more than one eye on neovim ;)): 
* everything inside awesome wm:
