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.

Perhaps nobody says they use it out loud although knowing vim users (and being one myself) they tend to be very willing to share how bad a mouse is for productivity while programming and how using vim is the ultimate solution. As for emacs I only ever have seen greybeards use it and it dosen't to have had much of a revival with the newer generations.
