Web Browser: Firefox. I've tried other browsers that were less resource intensive, but Firefox is easily the most compatible and extensible that I've seen.

Audio and Video: Totem and Audacious. Audacious has a Winamp-like interface and some cool features like SoundFont replacement for MIDIs.

Text editor: Leafpad. Opens configuration files quickly and it's easy to use.

Disc Burning: Usually Brasero, sometimes K3B if Brasero can't handle something.

Graphics: GIMP for raster and Inkscape for vector.

File Browser: I liked Nautilus from GNOME 2.* days, but I've found that Thunar can do a pretty good job of imitating it while being quicker and lighter.

Office: I use the LibreOffice suite.

I cannot find FoxGui and StreamRipper in AppCafe, PBI and port requests. Can we make PBI request for Streamripper and port request for foxgui?

We can also make pbi request for leafpad, gpicview and okular

kopete and okular are part of KDE, so if you install KDE-Graphics (Okular) and KDE-Network (kopete) you can find them there.

The other two apps can be installed from ports or packages:
leafpad:

pkg_add -r leafpad

or

cd /usr/ports/editors/leafpad/ && make install clean

gpicview

pkg_add -r gpicview

or

cd /usr/ports/graphics/gpicview/ && make install clean

net-im/kopete is unmaintained. It's being replaced by Telepathy. (net-im/telepathy-qt ?)

AnbuBlack, we can request to build PBIs for Kopete, Okular, leafpad and gpicview so that they will be available in AppCafe.
