mate-desktop
"Extremly stable, beautyful and handy. MATE is the best choice for computers younger than Win7; for older computers Xfce might be a better choice; i prefer MATE on virtual machines for purposes which cause havy desktop use, cause it's smoother and nicer to the eyes."

xfce4
"Simple, efficient, extremly reliable and good looking on LinuxMint with the great LinuxMintMenu (less handsome on Xubuntu); our favorite choice on older Computers which ran WinXP or Vista before - Xfce changes them from snails to horses on office tasks; even economic RAM usage on virtual machines."

meld
"great, simple to learn, even for people who never used diff. It's the other way around, it teaches to understand diff :-)"

thunderbird
"Good solution and pretty much faster under heavy use than Outlook. Between many extensions I like especially the calendar tool Lightning. According to the latter comment, there is no further dialog for passwords after putting them in once. Only thing annoying is the setup dialog with advertisement for some mail provider."
