Very good list. I do wish some of the entries had a more to their description than "written in Blub." Knowing the language is interesting but not really helpful if I just want to know functionality.

Of all the things I think this list is missing, I think the #1 is the backup software lsyncd: watches a local directory tree for changes, then uses rsync to copy the changes. Great for when your data become so large that you can't complete your periodic backup job in a reasonable period of time.
