What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.

It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.

What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into "smaller" instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can't remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.

Why do you compare Krita to Photoshop? They do different things.

Because a lot of people do use Photoshop for painting, and Adobe does recognize that and implement some painting tools into Photoshop.

Cool, but there are plenty of painting apps and they all are better than Photoshop. Because Photoshop is not a painting app even if you can paint there.
