Studio 3T over MongoDB Compass. Despite the comparatively dated UI, S3T is way more capable

Adobe lightroom vs darktable. Don't get me wrong, I still use darktable instead of lightroon,, but my god, it is incredibly unstable and everything is just harder to do.
As much as I love to hate ESRI, Arcpy just works and has solid documentation. Sure I could use a strictly geopandas solution but when the customer wants to have the product in a file geodatabase, noting beats the built in export method.
I guess I am stuck in error 999999 land for life.
FL Studio, Ableton, and many VST. Yes, a know about Ardour, many LV2 plugins, and I tried it, and in somewhere moment, me liked it more, then proprietary analog. Some plugins is awesome, DrumGizmo is very well, Vitalium and helm too have good sound, and many another software is good, but for easy, fast, and really quality sound it easier make in proprietary analogs. It ones cause, why I have windows in dualboot (and yes, in Wine I haved large latency and another problems).
P.S But sometimes I still working on my music projects in GNU/Linux.
Cisco IOS, although I suppose that's mostly because of the hardware. If there was actually an option, I'd probably run bsd or linux on my routers.
Lightroom > Dark table Edge > Firefox Windows > Linux
Discord - no alternatives
macOS over Ubuntu (don't get me started on Windows). I use macOS on my MacBook Air and it's just so well thought out. Ubuntu is decent but I wouldn't want to use it for my daily work.
I love Obsidian and use it to manage my Markdown files and I'm in awe. Checked out Logseq as well but it didn't work for me.
VS Code. As much as I hate Microsoft, this is great. I'll likely look for a community-supported version without the creepy telemetry shit though.
Plexβs Plexamp over any of the Jellyfin FOSS music apps. Bought Plex pass just for the amp.
MacOSf or the trackpad gesture support.
The touchpad gestures in Gnome are by now the same as on MacOS. Gnome is the default desktop on many popular Linux distros.
StylusLabs Write. I've tried all the FOSS hand-written note taking apps and none of them is practical to use.
Write just works. Produces SVGs that you can view in any browser and efficiently sync via git. Amazing.
It looks like an android app from 2012 and could really use some updates in other areas too.
I also don't get why it's closed source. It's free (as in beer) and there isn't even a way to donate.
StremIO, it's simply a lot more usable and stable than Kodi but I still use both for my piracy needs!
