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 more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.
It gets relegated to playing Fraggle 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?
EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into "smaller" instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can't remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.
Pulsar is better than VS Code for JavaScript.

There is Lapce as well, built with Rust.
Oooh, shiny. I'll have to give it a try! I work with SvelteKit and Tailwind presently, I'll have to see how it handles that!
VS Code is mostly open source though, with an independent build being circulated under the name "VS Codium". Some proprietary Microsoft extensions will however refuse to run on it out of spite though.
