Here's what I'd add to this nice list:
- emacs-jabber: the best IM client in the world and you can use various "jabber2any" gateways to stay in touch with your "legacy" contacts. emacs-jabber allowed me to get off using pidgin grudgingly :)
- ratpoison for managing shell windows under X (and I've heard stumpwm is great, for all you lisp lovers :))
- conkeror (or vimperator) for keyboard-driven web browsing: not character mode, but surely helps a lot when most of your software is.
- urxvt (rxvt-unicode).
- gnus for mailer: probably. I've heard it's even better than mutt, but I don't use email often enough to warrant the switch yet.

A couple of years back I tried to get Gnus working, but I ran into: (i) confusing documentation, (ii) not much help through blogs/Google, and (iii) Gnus users on IRC telling me "not to bother" trying to learn Gnus because there were better solutions out there. I've also heard complaints on a number of occasions that Gnus is a dog when trying to load up large mailboxes (and that mutt is better at this).
