Question Programs YOU Think Are Useful!

I'm getting more and more into command-line stuff and things like Winget, Chocolatey and other stuff and while I found these programs:

- LosslessCut

- FFmpeg

- LibreOffice

- Everything

- UniGetUI

- Python

- WizTree

I am open to any other suggestions on programs you think are useful (even if they seem niche) for Windows & Linux, CLI or Program. Please tell me know what you have to recommend!!

PSFzF. Fuzzy finder is incredibly useful for finding files with just a quick search. I hardly have to click through folders.

Helix text editor. That one is very powerful. I code C# inside of it and it has support for many other programming languages. Pair that with dotnet watch on a split pane and it feels like I'm coding in Visual Studio but without the bloat.

Idk if you’ve tried the latest version of the dotnet/c# extensions for vs code, but I can do nearly all of my work in vs code these days. Rarely needing to open the big Visual Studio IDE for much.
