My engine management firmware has never failed me.

Care to give some examples how? For me, Eclipse has remained very stable. Maybe we are using them for different languages and/or things.
When I used it for Java, I often would have to use the menu option to restart. Seriously .. a menu option to restart??? The stability wasn't as bad as the slowness. Also, OSGI seems to be a philosophy or cult. Things are just generally complex and bloated.

VMWare Player. I needed to run Linux in a VM with nested virtualization and hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. VirtualBox doesn't support the former and I couldn't get 3D acceleration to work even after installing the guest additions. Everything worked in VMWare Player right out of the gate.

Trying to run an OS X VM on an OS X host on it was "fun". Clang doesn't work out of the box and you had to set some weird and nonintuitive flags to get anything to compile on it.
I pretty much will try to use anything else besides VirtualBox when I need a VM.
awk, grep, sed, and these days I add jq to my standard tool belt. I also really enjoy fish as my shell language of choice. Languages, runtimes, etc come and go but these programs remain as useful as they were 19 years ago when I first learned about them.
IntelliJ Idea is head and shoulders better than many other IDEs, particularly Eclipse in the reliability department.

When eclipse gave me that error message I immediately wrote it off as useful software.
Also it is dog slow compared to intellij
vim - going on, what, thirty years of use and it rarely surprises me.
bash - same thing. The only surprise is my own ignorance of it after so many years.
SQLite - so small, so useful, and so reliable for what it is.
I guess that ended up being the list a lot of others posted. Which ought to say something for the products mentioned.
