All the free editors (e.g. VS Code, Emacs, Vim) and especially their respective plugins. I'm always amazed at the breadth and quality among them.

Lineage OS android. It's amazingly polished for an open source, community run system, and the breadth of devices supported is phenomenal.

OBS is pretty amazing considering it's feature set, and adoption in the streaming community.
