acme

Rob Pike's acme text editor for the Plan 9 operating system: http://acme.cat-v.org/ And its predecessor sam: http://sam.cat-v.org You'll need plan9port to run acme on Linux, though. But the core ideas are very simple and powerful (sam: everything is a huge string; acme: everything is a clickable file) and thus hopefully long-lasting. I would also mention edbrowse, a line-oriented web browser initially for blind people. Maybe this is too far on the fringe, though. It does have a lot of depth (excellent scripting capabilities); it's an amazing project actually: http://edbrowse.org/.

dwm

Some people have mentioned window managers, but nothing comes quite close in terms of extensibility and feature as dwm[0] and xmonad[1], which is a near dwm reimplementation in haskell with many more interesting features. Both programs are configured by writing code, which compiles to a binary that you then use. Xmonad and xmonad-contrib are maybe more accurately described as haskell libraries that make writing your own window manager trivial. Highly recommend if you enjoy configuration, you can do some really cool stuff with it. [0] https://dwm.suckless.org/.

nnn

You should also check out nnn (https://github.com/jarun/nnn) if you're looking for terminal-based file manager.

Midnight Commander

IIRC the golden standard is midnight commander ( https://midnight-commander.org/ ), which is another old timer. I wonder how nnn and vifm compare to mc.
