What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?

hedge@beehaw.org to Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org – 90 points –

For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn't always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is repeating an earlier post.

Affinity was an affordable and featured alternative to the Adobe suite, but just sold to canva so yay capitalism

If it was open source then it still is. You simply clone the sources to a new project and continue

Noooooo that is so disappointing to hear.

They've said they're committing to keeping perpetual licensing and are using Canva's resources to speed up development though. So far, seems okay to me. At least for now. Unless anyone knows otherwise?
