Lately, I've been getting back to using the CLI a lot more.
In an effort to move much of my computer usage to CLI, here's my
latest setup:
Newsbeuter for RSS. This is a great CLI program for RSS
consumption.
Newsbeuter website
Cmus for music. One of the best CLI music players I've ever used. T
only thing I find lacking is handling multiple playlists. Basically
you just have to clear your loaded music and load a new playlist
file. You can't have multiple playlists set in the program and
interactively switch between them. That aside, cmus is awesome, and
I'm really digging it.

TTYtter for Twitter. Yup. CLI Twitter client. I actually have two
Twitter accounts, which TTYtter doesn't support, but I found a way
around it. You can select the account to load when you run the
program, so I actually run two instances of TTYtter, side by side i
split tmux window (more on this later).

Keepassc for KeePassX. I've recently been using KeePassX instead of
LastPass to see if I can switch to it. It looks like I'll be switch
soon and closing my LastPass account. Anyway, I tried several CLI
KeePassX alternatives, and keepassc is, by far, the best. I don't
remember the last time I opened the KeePassX GUI application,
actually.
Keepassc website
GNU Emacs for, er, GNU Emacs. I've been using CLI Emacs lately. We'
see how long that lasts, but so far it's ok. I lose a bit of
functionality, like being able to view images, PDFs, etc. Honestly,
though, I hardly (never?) do that.

Tmux really ties it all together. I run everything in a tmux sessio
in a single terminal window. This allows me to easily switch to
whatever application I need with the keyboard, and has the added
benefit of window management, allowing me to do things like run two
TTYtter sessions side by side.

So, what do I still run in the GUI?
Tor Browser and Safari. I do still use lynx occasionaly, though.
Skype and HipChat. There are no CLI clients for these services, whi
Mail.app. Yup. This is largely due to the fact that Exchange doesn'
with mutt, especially with certain rules and restrictions setup on
As for my personal email, well, that's through iCloud, which also i
in mutt. Even so, I'd rather run a single mail client than multiple
Mail.app it is.
Virtualbox, for obvious reasons. It'd be sweet have a CLI implement
ascii art, though, wouldn't it?
Steam and other graphical games. Rogue still works great via CLI, t
Other assorted things: calendar, contacts/address book, etc.
