A window manager that.
1.Allow only maximized windows.
2.toolbar to switch windows is icons without text(to fit like ~100 icons in 1 line).
3.Said toolbar pops up for 10 seconds when you hover the mouse pointer in the top-right corner or some other area.

A terminal which natively supports drawing 32-bit pixels:
1.Terminal window can contain mix of graphics and text.
2.32-bit color pixels(8bit alpha/opacity)
3.Programs grab control of terminal graphics and use it as OpenGL framebuffers(without the verbose setup, like in QBASIC)

A task manager that is carbon-copy of Process Explorer on windows.
A network monitor that is simple like TcpView with ability to accumulate packet stats instead of removing them as connections close.(TCPview can quickly tell "which process owns the connection" as connections change in real-time)
A chess-engine GUI which would support most protocols and chess variants:
1.It needs to support multi-engine matches and tournaments(like Arena).
2.It needs support for connecting with online chess servers/sites.
3.Custom piece bitmaps and move/capture animation support.
4.Low-overhead for blitz

A minimalistic browser which:
1.Doesn't support JavaScript or CSS, but creates a compact layout from loaded elements. Image/Video/Audio support.
2.Designed to load everything as fast as possible
3.Has Built-in adblock and domain filter.
4.Is built for secure browsing: everything is verified(buffers/requests) and no persistent data about the user remains(all data is for one session only).
5.Support for multiple protocols: irc, torrents,etc which normal browsers don't have.

A text editor which has
1.Custom Syntax highlighting schemes.
2.Spellcheck with user-editable dictionary
3.Regex-search/replace
4.Notepad++-like interface
5.Code-block folding.
6.Code auto-complete based on #2
7.Multi-document view& visual compare(visual diff)

A wiki database editor:
1.With web interface
2.Support for multimedia/file embeds
3.Scaling for multi-GB wikis
4.Support for auto-linking words(i.e. words typed become links if there is an article about it)
5.Tag-cloud support for pages
6.Password protection and approved editor lists
7.Smart diff, which shows how content is being edited with highlighting: yellow- content being removed and put back again, red-removed content, green- new content.

A Second Life clone like OpenSimulator with
1.Much better in-game editor (with scripting and 3D modeling support).
2.More optimized for multiple connections and scaling up with system resources(GPU acceleration)
3.More realistic graphics renderer(client-side)
4.Native support for Virtual Reality headsets and haptics devices.

A graphics editor like MSPaint with more modern tools and brushes for quick editing, optimized for performance and low memory use.
