IMO it's up there, I've been using it for over 20+ years.

IrfanView and foobar2000 (mp3 player) haven't left my side since I started using them. Ditto (clipboard manager) has also earned its place.

Right, foobar2000 is great isn't it?

To add to that, for me mplayer was clutch for a long time, nowadays I opt for VLC though.

mv2player was a really good option for a period of time, it's a shame it just disappeared, not even it's source code can be found.

That sounds bad. Is it on any old shareware sites ?

it can be found here, and a few other places as well, but unfortunately the source code was never shared. Though it was such an amazing, blazing fast and bloatfree app, such a shame the code was never shared, and now it seems lost, unless the author is around somewhere?

Of the three, ditto easily takes no. 1 spot. Must’ve saved me weeks of juggling windows and trying to remember where stuff was at this point. It’s a superpower, a true game changer if I ever saw one.

Maccy on macOS is about half as good which is still an absolute unit of a tool. Couldn’t use a Mac without it.

Yep, funny enough I have a Macbook for work (company laptop) and I also stumbled upon Maccy. You're right in that it's not Ditto but it's quite good and I'm overall happy using it.
