Desktop apps? For this I read gui, gentle learning curve, suitable for
people who dislike learning about the computer.
In no special order the ones I use regularly and like are

firefox
rhythmbox
sound juicer
sweep
gqview
wesnoth
 oowriter or abiword (equally good in different ways)
lifrea
xine
gnumeric --I liked the app so much I... etc.

and for non-free software
ut2004
quake3
Wolfenstein Enemy-Territory (free beer)
I wish evolution were in the above list.

vim, gcc, valgrind, cscope, gdb, ddd, perl, latex, gnome-terminal,
ssh, mutt, irssi all probably get more of a workout than the desktop
apps :)
