I have taken the 20 first entries of the top 100 tucows list, except that some entries has been removed, mainly antivirus and programs what need other different program to work. (URL: http://tucows.uam.es/toppicks.html)
Do we really want things which have serious native alternatives.
The ones I am especially looking at are Ws-FTP and putty. Most distros have a FTP server, even if it's the grotty WU-ftp with it's bad security record, and all the sensible distros are shipping OpenSSH.
It is the same that when you are doing a videogame console emulator. You don't start testing the comercial games first, you start with simple demos, when you will get the basic working, then start with more complex one, and so. The important is not run this applications, the important is that sure that the authors of this applications have used features what are the base of other more complex. So if this features are working correctly, it will be easier run more complex software in the future :)
