But about programming languages. I found the Ubuntu release is geared towards consumers and users and not programmers. I'm unsure why that is.

Hello, I was just wondering if I could get some people's opinions on what the top Ubuntu programs are for the following purposes;
1. Programming (In any languages, but preferably C/C++)
2. DVD Burning
3. Video Conversion
4. Bittorrent Client
5. IM Client
Thank you all in advance, and if you have anything to recommend that falls outside of the listed categories please don't be shy to share!
