We need more people to check out free pascal compiler and it's IDE Lazarus. The more you learn, the more you see they are excellent in many ways. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
I appreciate the work put into this study, but it is not necessary to spend money. Just think of how many fat people you heard of that got past 70.
And compare that with the number of people that got to see very long age.
Opening a new tab and searching for very old people pictures should clear things up for anyone. For free.
Today people make software with only financial gains in mind.
The software is not made with passion, by passionate professionals.
Someone should start a list with crappy software like these, and a list with highly optimized and efficient software. I propose Total Commander for Windows, Spinrite.
I like the concept of directory players. I don't want playlists, my files are arranged in directories just fine.
I use players like 1by1, VUPlayer, Resonic. Straightforward, usable players.
I miss this functionality in foobar, implemented as native, not cumbersome plugins that need a lot of tinkering.
Even though I appreciate the work that must have gone into the creation of the icons, I do not like them at all and I would not consider using them, ever. Why would I look all day at black and white wire-frame icons?
I consider colorful icons to be beautiful, ones that closely follow the color and shape of original objects. Like Haiku icons, for example.
