2 Windows programs that I've been using for ~15 years have done a great job at avoiding the abyss.
They would be IrfanView[0] (image viewer) and foobar2000[1] (mp3 player).
Both programs are very minimal and have stayed true to their vision. Using them today feels similar to how it was 5 or even 10 years ago, but at the same time subtle improvements have been made too. Both are still under active development, so it's not a matter of them not being updated for years.

- theandrewbailey 7y agoI never stopped using Winamp. I've been whippin that llama for over 20 years.
- Leace 7y agoI used them too and they're fantastic. I even bought a couple of licenses for IrfanView although I didn't need them. Too bad there's no Linux version.
- monocasa 7y agoRuns beautifully under WINE.
