Some more I did not see others mention. For Linux:

  • Geany
  • Python
  • Meld
  • Nextcloud
  • Reminna and TightVNC
  • Thunderbird
  • Zim

For Android:

  • Just Weather
  • Joplin
  • OpenSync
  • Tasks
  • OSMAnd
  • Nextcloud
  • SMSBackp
  • Connect Bot

I also recommend the site: https://alternativeto.net/ . You can just search and it will tell you the most used FOSS apps in any category you want.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one using geany. Nice to see it mentioned.

Yes, I am more in favor of basics. Emacs and VIM are just to complicated. IDEs, well sometimes I use but usually I start in Geany or nano and only use an IDE if it makes sense. Often not.
