Using Emacs and Conkeror, with Herbstluftwm.
Conkeror was what tipped everything for me: Having been used to gui apps for a long time, my continued use of gui browsers kept me in some kind of limbo. Learned just enough of Emacs to get things done but never going whole hog in learning its shortcuts mainly because I was still relying on mouse clicks on things like the browser. With Conkeror, those shortcuts work well on both my non-gui emacs setup as well as the browser. It's been a great working environment.
