Does 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.

Do you use the Neo Vim extension, it uses real neovim? Not to be confused with VSCodeVim.

I actually don't user either. I don't much see the point of Vim weaseled into another environment, but I'm happy to listen and be convinced otherwise.

I don't know if it counts as enterprise software but I use Jetbrains' products everyday. Goland, IntelliJ and PyCharm are great tools.

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.

Actually there are some variations.

Example: Python plugin when installed in IntelliJ is missing venv integration in the terminal.

I've been enamored by Pipedream (https://pipedream.com) because as a Product Manager with engineering background, I can quickly hack together prototypes and get good feedback from customers :) . Pretty sure there are other nocode software but this is great for me.

It really is nice, I use the Neo Vim extension and it's night and day.

Check out Onivim 2 as well for a VSCode like editor that natively uses Vim, but can use VSCode plugins and is generally easier to use than Vim. It also isn't built on Electron so it's super fast and lightweight. Currently it's in beta I think.

Cisco's Duo Security MFA product.

It Just Works™. Which you'd just take for granted with something as simple as MFA, but we had two previous enterprise products that were garbage. Duo just does its thing, gets out of the way, and I can keep working.

It is one of those things you appreciate because you never think about it.

Windows MFA requires an internet connection which is a bit of a problem. Makes it either trivial to bypass or impossible to log in without an internet connection.

Excel, 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.

Also you can't open two Excel files with the same name.
