scrivener and affinity's products are much nicer. i don't even know if there's a foss version of scrivener to be fair, but i basically haven't used any other word processor since purchasing it.

Kdenlive is still not up to pro standards. I make do with it, but if/when i'm editing for someone else i'll have to switch to a proprietary solution.

And that's besides the fact that everyone else is using it, which is usually the reason to prefer proprietary over FOSS. It's the reason i still have Photoshop installed alongside Krita.
