firefox introduced me to open source and, as internet activity is the main use of my computer, i'd say it's my favorite. right behind that are gimp and xmms. i've just started playing with inkscape, but it could easily end up a favorite in the near future. i use thunderbird for e-mail, but i've never really gotten too excited about e-mail clients.

Well, of course, I love the usual everyday Linux apps that I depend on to do my work :)

But other than that, mplayer/mencoder and I have been really bonding recently. This is simply the most powerful combination of media apps, and I'm still learning how to use them to their full potential.

At the same time, the xvid/libavcodec mpeg4 codecs are really sweet and amazing in what they're capable of doing, and I've been going through my DV tapes and recoding a lot of them into higher-bitrate mpeg4's (2000-4000kbit) instead of the usual DVD-quality mpeg2's, and I'm very happy with the resulting quality and file size.
