I think it’s high time I express my long overdue gratitude for the software that I rely on every day to make both my personal and professional life easier.
Below are some of the tools I have been using for almost 20 years:
- Everything - Thank you, David Carpenter. Without you, Windows is unusable for power users.
- System Informer (formerly Process Hacker) - Thank you. I am not sure how much I owe you.
- FSCapture - Thank you. I have been using it since 2006. The best screenshot tool on Windows.
- Rufus - Thank you. Without you, life would have been terrible!
- Ventoy - Thank you. You made the impossible possible!
- Sublime Text - Thank you. You changed the way I edit text. Long live multi-cursors!
- VSCode - Thank you. Without your global find and replace pane, life would have been terrible!
- VLC - Thank you. You have been with me ever since I started using computers in 1998!
- Ripgrep - Thank you. You made searching within files fast and efficient!
- Git - Thank you. I am still a Git command line user!
- Meld - Thank you. From 2012 until last year, I used Meld for Git and other needs.
- WinMerge - Thank you. I finally switched to WinMerge on Windows.
Finally, Windows and I have a love and hate relationship. Thanks for the chaos, the magic, and everything in between.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
