In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives? (feddit.dk)

sway is the wayland based modern alternative that I use (and prefer). It does not do anything flashy and most i3 config options work just the same.
