For me, that would be Secure CRT. I have yet to find a terminal emulator that matches its feature set. If you regularly manage hundreds of machines using various connection protocols (serial and ssh mostly in my case) It’s worth the $$$, and so far there hasn’t been any subscription nonsense. I liked using it at work so much I forked over the dough to have it at home.
None of the free alternatives do everything I need.
I’ll also mention a few iOS apps. One is Sun Surveyor. It’s an AR app that shows you the position of the sun, moon, and galactic center at any given time. The other would have to be Radarscope. It’s a weather radar app, but it’s a really good weather radar app.
EDIT:
This one’s debatable, but I use it all the time. Plasticity is 3D modelling software that attempts to bridge the gap between practical CAD programs and software meant for 3D artists like Blender. It’s not cheap considering Blender is free, but it’s buy once use forever, and at (I think) $150 it’s within reach of an individual hobbyist who knows what they want and is willing to pay for it.
Sorry I disagree. There are valid reasons for software with subscriptions, but an editor ain’t one. Much less $20+ a month.
It isn’t just an editor, though. But you do you. ☺️
I understand that. It’s a full-fledged IDE. Visual Studio can (or used to?) cost hundreds of dollars too. But I miss the days when you just bought software and that was it. What will happen when you stop paying monthly? Or what if you don’t need the bleeding edge and you’ve shelled $900 in three years, for a product that should have cost $499? That’s the thing. Subscriptions suck.
But yeah. You do you, and I do me.
Having paid for Visual Studio in the past at $1500, and the requisite MSDN subscription at $2000/year so that I could have useful help files, the actually $600 over three years for all of JetBrains’ software is a steal. Subscriptions aren’t new, they’re just more prevalent now.
Holy smokes. Thanks for sharing.
