GNU Emacs - Text editor, only use when edits require more complicated markup.
Pandoc - Because I can hardly stand using Wiki markup, I use this to convert Markdown text to it. Unfortunately, it becomes basically useless with the more esoteric side of things.
i3 - I was using GNOME before this; It finally clicked for me a while back, and I've never been happier. I've tried out Sway in the past, but ended up going back to i3 every time; Mainly because of issues with Wayland.
Alacritty - Just works. Under Wayland, I use a more obscure terminal emulator named Foot.
Toolforge Citer - Literally the only tool needed for citation. I don't like how sluggish Wikipedia's own built-in citation tool is, so I just use this one, which is much faster and just better all around, instead.
