Somewhat in order of use:
Firefox, Vivaldi, Clementine, xfce4-terminal, Thunar, Libreoffice, qpdfview, Mirage, Galculator, Simple Scan, Asunder, Shotwell, VLC, MX Live USB Maker.

That mix is influenced lately with digitizing my music and photo collection.

All on Openbox:
Tint2
Volume Icon - tray icon/audio mixer
Udiskie
PIA - VPN
Worker - directory utility (file manager)
Vivaldi
KeepassX2
qBittorrent
Terminator & Sakura - they each have different jobs
VLC
MKVToolNix
MediaInfo
AVIDemux
Geany (nano sometimes)
GHex
qpdfview
Pinta
Viewnior - (giving it a whirl, been using Geeqie for years prior)
Dirsize = df -h
GParted - (lot of drives/partitions, use GParted for reference)
Galculator
Steam

The above are mostly in frequent use (AVIDemux, GHex & GParted & Steam, not so much)
Worker has my file (de)compression handled, though I have FileRoller & GTKHash installed for just in case.

All of the following are rarely used, but they do server their respective purposes:
Inxi, GeoGebra, LXimage Screenshot, ArandR, LMSensors, Powertop, GColor2, Agave, Filezilla - if I happen to have a website, Firefox - as backup, XFBurn, FBReader, FontViewer, LibreOffice, LXAppearance, OBConfigMgr, OBMenu, Qt5 Config Tool - qt5ct.

Once well used tools like HandbrakeCLI are just never called these days.
1_MSI: MAG B560 TORP', i5, RAM 16GB, GTX 1070 Ti 12GB, M2 238GB + USB, MX-23 Fb to Openbox
2_Lenovo: Ideapad 520S, i5, RAM 8GB, GPU i620, HDD 1TB, MX-21 - Openbox
3_Clevo: P150SM-A, i7, RAM 16GB, nVidia 8600, 2x 1TB HDD & M.2 256 GB, MX-21 - Openbox

I forgot Softmaker Office. I use it constantly, and also use LibreOffice.

Wouldn't a better post be which DEFAULT apps do you use or which apps NOT included on the default iso do you use?

Good point. That would help future development.

Tickr, Conky (not the MX one), Mega, MX USB Unmounter (just started using this instead of right click blahblah in Thunar, this is SO much better and faster!)



Things that I start myself once I get to the desktop:

Pidgin, Skype, Google Chome, Thunderbird (60), QuiteRSS (18.12)



Other things I use a lot:

Kodi (17.6), LibreOffice, Mousepad, DVD Styler, gnome-calculator, Terminal, TvTime, SimpleScan, Openshot-qt, VLC.


And of course things like Synaptic, Thunar, MXPI, Nvidia app, Firefox when needed.
How does Skype work for you? I've found it buggy on Linux in the past.

Google as a company is garbage. They have done so many stupid things in the past few years.
I use Chrome because Firefox continually caused me problems. Also I use an Android phone and Chrome gives me a reliable browser with my passwords and links synced across platforms.
