LnF Awards 2012 - The best Light & Fast apps of 2012

I didn't see a thread for this year so I decided to start one.
Time to vote for your lightweight apps again.

Survey: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie … c6MQ#gid=0
Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv? … full#gid=0
Summary graphs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie … MEtlUWc6MQ

Checkbox selections are based on top results from last year's thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111878) and will be periodically changed according to popularity.

Thanks!  Has there been any consideration of a 'Productivity' category?  Users have various todo apps and scripts that they like to share in community contributions, etc.  I see last year such apps were placed into 'Other Apps'.

Sorry, I've just been editing the form based on responses.

Does anyone want access to edit the appropriate choices/responses?

I just had to add initscripts in the custom end of the survey, though it is still luckily default

Good format of the good ol' "LnF Awards" anyhow.

I see that yaourt got far more votes than packer, yet packer is a fourth of the size as yaourt.  Poking around the forums I also see that packer seems to be faster than yaourt.  What am I missing?  How is yaourt the LnF winner?

Because it's a popularity contest, not a technical-analysis contest.

Is this thread still on?
Or should we start a new thread and vote for 2013?

Start a new thread.  Also, in addition to the name of the app, can we include its installed size?
