It's the dumbest thing, but right now I just really want a better open source alternative to Advanced IP Scanner. Or I want someone to add a filter (especially by MAC) option to Angry IP Scanner. Whatever. I just want an IP scanner that can filter by MAC and works on Linux.

Exchange and Outlook for business use.
No nothing else comes close.
Itβs the last app in MS Office that does not have competition. LibreOffice fills ever other app well enough but nothing comes close to exchange and Outlook. Considering they are trying to kill it off with an always online website (OWA) we need foss competition asap.

Substance Painter. Material Maker will get there but its development has stalled quite a bit.
Two categories, broadly: any professional software, with deep features and professional quality.
I know theres audacity, but that's really not an acceptable saw.
I know theres a few cad apps, but no professional I've ever met finds the good enough.
I know gimp, and I use it, but no artist I know does; they all pirate Photoshop. Literally every one.
I like having audacity to record audio. I like having gimp to fuck with shit. I like having various cad apps to bang out organizational tools to print. These things do generally fit my use case. But I still have to help people pirate everything else and god the DRM is do fucking annoying.
Abd here's the more esoteric ask:
Not so much programs as features; Why aren't we really going all in on shit we can do that they can't? Features capitalists would never add, never support? Instead I find open source software always playing catch-up, and theres no reason it has to.
Dating app. An app that help people metting each other based on their interest and purpose local activity. :)
found this the other day, not sure if its what you're looking for https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa-expo :P
It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.
Suicide booth
TransMac. It's a tool to create MacOS install discs and USBs. It works off of a limited time free trial then you are supposed to pay.
It works great but I'd prefer something FOSS.
A clean redshift application for Android, like redmoon. I found something but it's not quite there.
