1. Operating Systems: it's easy to take them for granted, but nowadays they just work, for both Windows and macOS and even Ubuntu are fine. Linux kernel is particularly impressive - I have a server with 1800 days uptime.
Mobile OSes are dumbed and locked down so I am not a big fan, but again, they just work.
2. Browsers: Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari - they just work.
3. Text editors: Sublime, Notepad++, VSCode etc
4. Virtual Machines: VirtualBox, VMWare - again the core software has not crashed on me once, even when using dual virtual NICs etc
5.Steam, Source Engine or Frostbite Engine or id games. Generally with some sad exceptions (Batman) you can just launch a game and enjoy it.
6. Plex - I've had it running 24/7 for years, streaming movies.
