Thanks Giving Thank You

2025/11/28 | General

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:

  1. Everything - Thank you, David Carpenter. Without you, Windows is unusable for power users.
  2. System Informer (formerly Process Hacker) - Thank you. I am not sure how much I owe you.
  3. FSCapture - Thank you. I have been using it since 2006. The best screenshot tool on Windows.
  4. Rufus - Thank you. Without you, life would have been terrible!
  5. Ventoy - Thank you. You made the impossible possible!
  6. Sublime Text - Thank you. You changed the way I edit text. Long live multi-cursors!
  7. VSCode - Thank you. Without your global find and replace pane, life would have been terrible!
  8. VLC - Thank you. You have been with me ever since I started using computers in 1998!
  9. Ripgrep - Thank you. You made searching within files fast and efficient!
  10. Git - Thank you. I am still a Git command line user!
  11. Meld - Thank you. From 2012 until last year, I used Meld for Git and other needs.
  12. 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!
