I mean, you named the precious few that don't suck, and two of them do essentially the same thing, and the other is a music player with a very questionable business model.

I'm with the op. I'm deeply unimpressed with the last decade or so of software development; and that's not just blowing smoke -- this is day to day practice. With the exception of Discord, I deliberately take pains to use old software because it's better.

Moreover, I find when I show non-tech folk "how I do things with old software," most want to learn more, and nearly none are satisfied with what they are "given."
