Command line tools - Console apps heaven
Tuxman:
The ones I regularly use, together with a bunch of more or less useful batch scripts:
cwRsync - backup stuff
Vim - my Twitter client & text editor
msls - ls (& grep) for Windows
ack - better grep (when configured properly)
FAR - NC clone
Worth a try, too:
PyCmd - better cmd
Swiss File Knife - file tree processor, binary grep, treesize, instant ftp+http server, line filter, text replace, dupfind, join files, md5 lists, run command on files, extract strings, detab, patch, tail, hexdump
MPXPLAY - better Winamp
;D
Good old console. I wish more people would see its benefits.

I use Total Commander, which is WinGUI, but surprisingly comfortable. I was/am a DOS holdout, and registered TC in about 2000. It was the first thing that made using Windows almost semi-tolerable.
As I understand it, FAR is console-mode but saves a lot of stuff in the Registry? Which seems a curious hybrid.
Tuxman:
TC is not a console application, so does not fit here.

Also great for retrieving GMail when you don't want to open the whole sideshow.
(see attachment in previous post)
I don't think I've entered GMail through the 'front door' even once since I found out about goosh.
If you regularly use Google, you just gotta love :-* this thing.

It looks very cool... I tried the gmail command, though, and it just embedded an empty window. I'm using Chrome ironically enough. Any ideas why this might happen?
40hz:
New one for me, but I don't use Chrome so that's no surprise. ;D
Gonna have to take a look at that. You've piqued my curiosity.
UPDATE: it's a flagged issue (Issue #11) Apparently they're still working on it.
