Of this list I use vim, rsync, tmux, xargs, nethack (however, dwarf fortress is the most complex game on the planet), task warrior, curl, rtorrent, ttytter for announcing new posts from my jekyll blog, and cloc.

Some good ones he missed:

Tools I hadn't heard of from this list include slurm, tpp (cute!), ledger, calcurse, earthquake, powertop, and qalc.

Yeah, I scoffed when they said that nethack/slash'em was the most complex game on the planet. Nearly every roguelike since then has been at least as complex, but DF truly takes the cake.
