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.
I use windirstat all the time, although it’s slow as shit I like the way it works.
Me too! It just works.
WizTree FTW https://www.diskanalyzer.com/
I use WizTree too and it works great. Scans entire C: root in a few seconds
I was gonna say something like
ping, but there’s still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.cSo… retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).
Dang thats…a lot more than I expected for
ping
I used Winamp all the way up until last year at which point I finally sold my gaming PC and switched over to Mac + PlayStation. Out of everything on my PC I probably miss Winamp the most!
That really whips the llama’s ass.
Isn’t it maintained again?
Officially yes.
There’s also WACUP
I still use DVD Decrypter, mostly to rip old TV Series I have where I want the files split up by episode when ripping.
Picasa from Google is still the best photo library management tool I’ve ever come across.
It was, after google bought it it was only a matter of time…
God I miss Picasa.
MP3Gain, the latest stable version was released in 2005 and I’ve been using it since then. It adjusts the volume level of MP3s using ReplayGain so that you don’t have to change the volume between tracks. There may be newer software out there that does the same thing, but MP3Gain is free/open source and it works fine for my needs. I still maintain a library of MP3s, partly because my car is too old to do Carplay/Android Auto, but it can play MP3s from a USB drive.
Elasto Mania (Elma). Awesome dirt bike game.
RPG Maker XP was released in 2004, nearly 20 years ago, and yet the entire Pokemon fan game community uses it exclusively. Pokemon Essentials, by far the best framework for creating fan games, is written for it, and is still maintained to this day. It’s such a large complicated project, with a huge ecosystem of plugins and resources, that it’s impractical to migrate to the newer RPG Maker software that has been released since.
Pokémon Reborn has been one of the best Pokémon fangames I’ve enjoyed. Never thought I’d see the day it was completed, but it was last year. It supports wondertrade, online battles, trading and more, and has custom terrain effects.
WoW Classic. Hardly maintained and bug rich. Circa 2004(?)
I like to post to my WordPress blog from my desktop, so I use Open Live Writer. It’s allow me the option to write without being connected to the Internet. I doubt it still in development.
Oh wow thats cool. I remember Windows Live Writer from way back.

I don’t use a text browser but I do use elinks to make sure my website works properly in it.
YNAB Classic, imo still the best envelope budgeting tool there is. And no subscription or any other bullshit.
Buckets is a good alternative for anyone who can’t find a key for YNAB classic: https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/
Agreed, if I didn’t have my version from back then, I’d have started using that as soon as I heard of it (which was only when it became OSS). It’smostly worse for manual entry of transactions, which is what I do and rely on.
I got lucky and was able to buy YNAB on Steam nearly 10 years ago for as much as they’re charging now for a single month of their subscription. Manually exporting/importing transactions can be a little tedious sometimes but in comparison there’s no way I could justify that high of a subscription cost
That, and I prefer manual because the categories differ pretty often.
I know someone who uses the new YNAB and loves it. They talk about their budget all the time :D

Easy way to visualize and clean up disk space
“This tool uses a sunburst chart to display the usage of your hard disk or other media. The chart shows all major files and folders from all directory levels at once.”
I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been using Space Sniffer. I like how it updates in realtime.
Nikon Capture NX2 for editing raw nikon files. Can’t beat it. I’ve never really understood light room and importing photos. But the colour control points in NX2 were and are fantastic. There are a number of really good plugins I’ve bought for it too.
Does WinRAR count?
WinRAR is under active development. Also, 7-Zip.
