Terminal based applications are powerful because of their simplicity and minimal resorce consumption, but there are a number of great curses based tools out there. There's Midnight Commander (mc - sort of like a shell based file manager thingy), ncftp, pico, ee, and other stuff. MC even lets you use the mouse too! I don't mind nifty graphical terminal based programs. At least they don't comsume as much memory as running X and it's various applications.
