I much prefer CLI and ncurses based apps over GUIs for most

rtorrent, ncmpc, irssi, and now slrn.

I guess with all of the other distinguished software you have mentioned
you can be forgiven for the whole emacs thing :-).

What's wrong with emacs? I started using it on Xenix in 1995
and have a version for Windows that I install on all my windows
machines.
