Okey-dokey. (I love this stuff)
glad you do...

I can't say Bash is my favourite shell because it's the default, and I
never tried anything else. Nevertheless I do greatly honour it, same
as I do Linux, GCC, Xorg, and GLibC. None of these pieces are
romantic, yet are all truly essential for any GNU/Linux system. I
consider them the most important pieces of FLOSS.
I added an implied window manager, as DE seems to imply something
else. I also wonder why you left off shell? And what is great
honours exactly? I guessed, but it didn't seem to be what you meant.
It's fine to include the shell as well, even though one won't normally
call it an application -- It's more of an essential system component.
