Re:What desktop apps do you use? by mynameishere on Tuesday June 12, 2007 @12:00PM (#27497)
I don't think we're being honest here. I use 5-6 different media players alone. Most of you seem to be boning up on your nerd credentials, because I don't see too many mentions of Doom or Quake, or MSFT Office, or Notepad, or IM clients, or Winzip/winrar, etc. The most popular dev environment seems to be Emacs. This tells me that your favorite language is still in diapers. I develop 10x faster in Eclipse than I ever could in Emacs. (I used emacs for a year coding C--it's okay, but its whole 'culture' harkens back to 300 baud modems.)

Some things that seem non-desktop, like Flash, really are in a sense--the connection to the browser and the web is very weak.
