Pixelmator for macOS blows GIMP out of the water and is a one-time purchase of $50. I've used Photoshop a lot at school and Pixelmator does 99% the same.

Finale vs Lilypond. I'm convinced only the Borg actually uses Lilypond. It's obscure, terrifying and difficult to use. Maybe it's because I've been using finale for over 14 years but it's hard for me to even conceptualize how to make music in Lilypond, whereas Finale just does whatever I ask of it.
Musescore is also a good FOSS alternative but I still stick by finale.

Termius saves me so much time as an engineer connecting to the dozens of servers in our infrastructure
There's a few open source front ends for Twitch that I've tried but I've had the occasional issue with video playback either stopping and being unable to reload or if I'm watching a VOD it won't consistently remember my position so I'd say I prefer the official app.
Normally I use open source ones when possible such as NewPipe or Invidious for YouTube for example.
