What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

I have still yet to see any other media library handle so many tens of thousands of audio files of varying encoding & naming conventions, so smoothly; "Media Monkey" etc were oft recommended but never once up to the task. Until just a few years ago, it was remarkably convenient for ripping a CD, too; correct metadata & all.
For a short while, WMP was to music files, as Calibre is to ebooks.

Same.
I tried watching Macross Delta before english subs were offered; the fansubs by Deadfish, included these simple lines which in my head-cannon are a flawless translation of what the japanese characters said:
"Jellyfish chips is like crack."
'Yes.'
If you think that's rough, try watching CBS Sunday Morning.
I swear to god, that free show that airs on broadcast TV, must be one of the hardest currently running shows to stream.
Well, that & "Shaka Ilembe"
Edit: I say Sunday Morning is hard to stream, because the CBS streaming app repeatedly fails to load the right segment after a commercial break, starting the show over at the beginning; if you skip forward from there, it shows another commercial break after you try to seek. Our last viewing of this 90-minute show, took 3.5 hours.

Huh... I just assumed the Andy Dick hologram was so much more pushy that it got the other one deprecated out of pettiness.
I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.
Yeah, Sony lost me when they broke my Linux install and degraded the DVD playback functions, within six months of me buying my PS2. Similarly, the last "good" smartphone I had, was the Palm Treo (650p\680p\Centro); since then, I've never had a single phone that granted direct hardware access & allowed unloading/sideloading the OS by default.
Manufacturers want deep control these days; way beyond mere root permissions.

Haven't looked at MX Linux before, thanks for the info!
Like I said, I really can't care much about window managers at this point. Mostly, I'm tired of having multiple window managers installed after just a few app installs. If I start out with Gnome\Plasma, I'll surely end up wanting some apps that have only been made for KDE, & vice versa. Never once have I seen a Linux machine that had all the apps I'd want, using just one window manager.
I suppose most apps could be compiled from source to run on one or the other, but alternative compiles have invariably been a hassle to me...
Since I end up needing at least two window managers installed anyway & they keep changing generations about 10x as often as I change machines, it's pointless for me to have a preference. The best window manager is whichever one each developer of each app happened to use?!?
