[TheGoose]

Octamed!!

X-COPY  DPaint, Real3D, ProTracker

A lot of the new generation Linux kids seem to like nano....

I blame the folks at Canonical..

Vi Improved, which stands alongside Emacs as one of the most popular cross-platform text editors in the world.

[X-ray]

Dpaint, Lightwave, Protracker, Bars and Pipes, Image FX, Art Department Pro, Real 3D, Octamed, Scala, Diskmaster (and various other source/destination dual pane file handlers)
 
The daddy of all Amiga influence is the Toaster, but I didn't list it because in my opinion it relies on a lot bespoke hardware which is not the intent of this thread.

@persia

TBH, I prefer nano and I wouldn't class myself as "new generation". I think it comes from the forgetting vi's commands and getting carpal tunnel syndrome from emacs :lol:

Don't let that put you off, most people so far have just listed their favourite amiga applications, which in a lot of cases absolutely nobody outside of the amiga scene has ever heard of :lol:

True. Video Toaster was mated to the hardware, but that doesn't take away from its strength as a program, having used it in broadcasting school.

Many answers here.. looks like "Amiga Programs list"-- and that Post its about Influential Amiga Programs in PC..
I think, Video Toaster, Lightwave, Deluxe Paint, Scala, Some Music Tracker GUI... Maybe, the same Amiga OS GUI and Multitasking Process, in MSWidows exist someting called "MUI" as Amiga OS.. I am not sure wich was first, but somethings in software like Word Procesors, Sheets, etc,  Menus are like Amiga aplications.. (remeber, Amiga late 80`s haved).. Diskmaster, today you can see the Windows Explorer are very similar..

Anyway many things in today's PCs may have been Influences by AMIGA!

The Pro Video (Gold, Plus, etc) series from Sherref Systems was everywhere.

Cable TV systems, hotels, schools, government- even the US military.

Personally I used it in the days when VHS Hi-Fi was a good cheap way to archive music
as a video generator to catalog the audio contents of the tape.

It put the Amiga in a lot of places...

Im surprised no-one has mentioned AMOS/AMOS Pro. While people tend to have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it, it sold very well back in the day, and it's not uncommon to read on random computer development blogs,etc. about how a person cut their teeth on AMOS. In addition to this there's plenty of BASIC dialects since that have been inpsired by AMOS (Dark Basic/Dark Basic Pro being very similar to AMOS and also having had good commercial success itself).
Blitz Basic parallels this too, but not on quite the same scale.

Dpaint is a bit unusual in my opinion in that while it was hugely successful, and also gets mentioned in interviews with random developers fondly, never seemed to directly influence many big name graphics tools of today. There's never realy been something akin to what a dpaint9 or 10 (or whatever) might have been, but rather evolved in a different (less elegant for my tastes) direction.
