Quicken,

I really wish there was a FOSS alternative that supported the autodownload of transactions across my plethora of banks/accounts (some I even chose specifically for better integration) but its sooo incestuous that theres really not much and what alternatives are available are usually cloud based where you cant guarantee the security of all your financial data.

I am... Really confused about your use of the word "incestuous" here. It may be that there's, uh... Another context for the word that I am not aware of, but how is the lack of integration between FOSS alternatives and banking platforms... Incestuous?

Altium. Reasons. (the octopart integration is really nice)

StremIO, it's simply a lot more usable and stable than Kodi but I still use both for my piracy needs!

Qlab is vastly superior to any other live theatre show control software.
