Krita is also fantastic and better than most closed source drawing software
KiCAD is also getting almost as good as some of the closed source ECAD software and is definitely good enough for small companies not doing flex designs. It is by far the best hobbyist-targeted ECAD
Libre office is perfect now for small companies. It is only missing a couple of small office features. Maybe PowerPoint power users would have a hard time making morph animations
Bitwarden is pretty much the best-in-class password manager for companies too
OBS is the gold standard for streaming
VLC is also the gold standard for media players
Bitwarden is the only one that has SaaS backing and the rest is volunteer driven, but with different funding models.
I hope by 2030 KiCAD and FreeCAD will be much more prolific in the professional space for small companies.
And now Bitwarden is also proprietary...
what? no...

Oh, that is great news! I didn't notice that they had backed down again.
I'll have to check out kicad for woodworking projects
Krita is good, but it pales in comparison to Procreate on an iPad.
LibreOffice is falling further behind MS Office every year. It’s still pretty capable, but depends on your use case. Excel beats it hard in every way once you get serious.
Fair point but anyone actually doing serious data entry and analysis and not just using SUM and a few macros will likely be using python, matlab, or R to analyze large sets of data. Excel absolutely craps the bed.
Libre office calc can probably do a serviceable job for most MBAs needing to make a projections graph justifying firing 1k workers to raise C-suite bonuses by 20% lol
Excel‘s strength is to be an integrated IDE and database that can be abused for many things.
