MODERATORS
Not one per se, but I love when a piece of open source software absolutely destroys it's competition. I'm not talking Firefox vs. Chrome or Unity vs. Godot debate (both are better, don't @ me), I'm talking when it's not even close, the open alternative is just industry standard.
VLC, Calibre, OBS and maybe Blender come to mind.
I've used Calibre for so long, it's just a great piece of software
