and while everyone's at it, here's some more:

VLT: Possibly the best terminal emulator out for the amiga. It's free has
     an arexx interface, it's own scripting language, many transfer protocols
     and gads of goodies (huh? :-)

XOPER: makes programmers life easier. Lets you see exactly what's going on
       inside your amiga.

STEVIE: for the vi addicts. A fairly good implementation of the un*x editor.

DME: a programmers editor. Another one of Matt Dillons amazing products.

SHELL: I use version 2.07 but newer better(?) versions are out. They get rid
       of many of the C: commands and give you a scripting language. Very
       nice.

wKeys, wIcon: give keyboard equivalents to window front/back, screen 
              front/back and a general window iconification. Very stable and
              reliable.

uShow: smallest iff file show program. Fast and featureless but also reliable.

dfc: replaces format and copy commands in a fast easy to use program that
     is smaller than either.

There's also zoo,arc and the related, but everyone knows of them right?
