What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? - sh.itjust.works

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much smaller and more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well. It gets relegated to playing Fraggles Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software. What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

Jellyfin can’t utilize local network storage… How is that a useful tool for a HOME MEDIA SERVER???
Emby is just straight up better. I know people hold a grudge, but honestly it’s a fair price for a lifetime membership, the development is super polished and the product is way more capable.
I tried Emby before Jellyfin and found it too absurd to pay for serving media that I own from a server that I own.
I don’t think it’s absurd to pay for a developer’s time.
