I really like simple software that is built for a specific task which it then does extraordinary with a simple to understand codebase. Similar to the philosophy of suckless.org.

What are your favourite programs that "suck less"?

podget: TUI podcast aggregator, implemented as a couple thousand lines of bash
mblaze: similar to mh - a suite of simple unix tools to work with email
sxiv: lightweight image viewer
pass: TUI password manager following the unix philosophy
khard, khal, todoman and vdirsyncer: contact manager, calendar client, todolist and syncer, which are relatively simply implemented
