For me, I have to say it, it's MS Outlook. I do e-mail all day every day and I use VBA macros and all sorts of shortcuts to make it very useful. Love it.
My outlook often freezes on me

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why use 3 different ones when IntelliJ can do all of the features of the listed editors? PyCharm is IntelliJ locked with Python plugin, etc.
I've heard that before but I'm skeptic about if it's exactly the same.
The only one that is different is Rider, since it has much deeper C# integration (might be others such as DataGrip, but never used it). PyCharm and GoLand are just plugins (same as WebStorm, PhpStorm, etc)

#23Not Jira. Hahahahaha.

#24Roadmunk - fantastic, simple roadmapping tool

#25IntelliJ, PyCharm, and the git to docker deployment service that I built myself for my companies.

#26gitlab, metabase, graylog, TICK (telegraf, influxdb, chronograf, kapacitor)
Metabase is great.

#27Does VSCode count? That's the first IDE to make me switch from Vim. I was reluctant at first, but now I feel lost without it.
For saas, probably Workday. I really enjoy it compared to what we had used prior.

GoLand seems to be lighter than IntelliJ though. I'll try using the plugins to see if the experience is different. Maybe I'm paying too much for the whole suite.

#29Excel, Box, and Zoom. Would vote for Cloudability as well, but that's not something that I use anywhere near every day.
Excel is a pain. It's annoying to open - if I already have Excel open and try open another Excel document I often have to click into a cell in the currently opened Excel document for the new document to open. It's also a pain closing as it prompts do I want to save. Saving as a CSV is a pain, it takes two prompts to save as a CSV. File recovery is also a pain.
Excel is great as long as you stick to the basic use cases. Start going nuts and it gets really slow. I think Apple got it right when they made their spreadsheet app have a much smaller table so people don’t try to use it for massive things

That is the first time I hear someone praise Outlook. For an application that gets billions in billing, there are no valid excuses for it to be the same thing as it was 15 years ago.
