Email - mozilla/sylpheed/pine
Web - mozilla/links2
Video - Xine (can't get xmms working right)
Music Player - Xine
Music Manager - playing with lilypond, still use Bars & Pipes (Amiga)
Desktop - KDE/xfce for older systems
Chat/IRC - ???
Windows Apps - Civ III PTW/Warcraft II
HTML Editor - TextMaker
text editor console - Whatever is there
text editor gui - Crisp
shell - Bash
Office suite - TextMaker and open office

Just an observation; there seem to be a lot of KDE users in spite of 
complaints of it being a resource hog.

I have yet to see gnome show up as a desktop of choice.
