i'm feeling rather chatty...but I was wondering what apps people are using with the new terminal in X? Compilers? Homemade stuff? Is the unix shell enough entertainment for everyone?
I about wet my self the first time I opened up term and typed in ncftp and had it start up. Any ftp program that allows you to have tab compleation in the server rocks in my book.

file searching - find, locate, grep
curl (or wget) is very useful. I do all my ftp-ing from the shell.
And I can rlogin to my machines at work.
Did I mention perl?

I never use the GUI if I can do it from the terminal window. It might take 10 times longer but I have the time and am sad enough to do this.
