What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why? (lemmy.world)

I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn't received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

What does it do better than Audacity?

[–] Figureinplastic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It remains on my computer since 1998 so I don't need to learn any new tools.

Mostly kidding...but to be honest, I have just never had any need to try any other tool...it works perfectly for what I need to do (multi-tracking, sequencing, mixing). There's almost nothing I would want it to do that it doesn't...so I just stick with it.

Hey, I remember when CoolEdit came... It was awesome.

But for me Audacity does all CoolEdit did.
