A couple others I grow that I haven't seen mentioned: Aloe, Kalanchoe, and Hoya all make good houseplants for me. The Hoya is the only one that blooms in my house, and it does so very rarely so they'd be easy to remove. I think Aloe is the most tolerant of low light among those three, but I have them all in lower light than your photo (near a smaller, north-facing window... it's the best my apartment can offer), and they're surviving. The pineapples that were growing so well for me in the south have bitten the dust, so I'd only recommend them indoors for someone with good sunlight.
I can't agree more on the Philodendron, though. I don't have the plant myself, but my mother has one that trails all over her kitchen... it isn't near a window, so it mostly gets artificial light, but it thrives and grows beautifully. Hers has attractive variegated foliage, but there are many varieties. I have never seen it bloom.
