For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn't always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is repeating an earlier post.

Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)

I've found Cudatext a good alternative for light editing tasks.

I really wanted to switch to Cuda, but there are a few small features missing which is super infuriating to me.

I can't think of any off the top of my head right now though.

Sublime Text? What's missing in other editors that you have in that?

Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.

Hmm.. dunno if you've tried it, but maybe Kate would be a good replacement? It's pretty powerful.

Thanks, I have, but it's not a replacement for me. I'll try it again once a year though.
