<Ciro Santilli>'s joke version of the Chinese <Four Treasures of the Study>!
* <web browser>
* <Text editor>
* <terminal>. Though to be honest, circa 2022, Ciro learned of the ctrl + click to open file (including with file.c:123 line syntax) ability of <Visual Studio Code> (likely present in other <IDEs>), and he was starting considering dumping the terminal altogether if some implementation gets it really really right. The main thing is that it can't be a tinny little bar at the bottom, it has to be full window and super easily toggleable!
In the past, Ciro used to use <file managers>, which would be the fourth tresure. But he stopped doing so for years due to his cd alias... so it became three. He actually had exactly three windows open when he was checking if there was anything else he could not open hand of.
