    For me it is KDE Plasma desktop. By far the most powerful, customizable, flexible and innovative of the computer desktops today. And despite all these features and power it is still one of the more lightweight ones.

    Also there are other great KDE apps and GNU/Linux operating system in general. Just love how they respect my digital rights and freedoms and my privacy and I do not need to use proprietary alternatives which are just getting more bloated and include more and more spyware. Not to mention their constant dumbing down of the interface and closing it up.

    Definitely Blender. I’d consider myself a medium grade expert at using it for CAD, solid modelling, 3D printing, yet there are vast sections of it I have never touched, and appear to be so rich that you could build a career around them without overlapping with my skill set.

      Blender used to be so difficult to use. It has come a long way and I genuinely like using now, not just forced to because of budget limits.

    As a creative: Blender. It was always a good program but thank god they finally started hiring people, that actually know how to design a usable UI. I remember the times when the devs refused to change the simple default selection to the worldwide standard: left mouse button.

        Yeah and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

        Did you know that Blender use to unironically use Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C for a surprisingly common operation?

        I don’t actually remember what for, 2.79 was years ago, but I think it placed the object origin at the center of the geometry

    VSCode. I know its owned by Microsoft but its such a good editor. Having a strong tool is so important since nobody wants to be concerned about the app, they just want to code and do their work!
