  One that comes to mind is google reader. There were quite a few decent RSS readers out there but then Google Reader came in and took over. Then google dropped it and RSS almost died.

    Summary of the history on that here: https://www.zdnet.com/article/embrace-extend-extinguish-how-google-crushed-and-abandoned-the-rss-industry/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/embrace-extend-extinguish-how-... They use the "Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish" line that apparently came out of internal MS emails, but as they say, not quite the same in the Google Reader case: no intent to extinguish presumably -- but the same effect.

      “no intent to extinguish presumably -- but the same effect.“ Agree. No intent but the same result.

  Atom, for one. I know everyone here loves VSCode, but the UI in my opinion is terrible. I also don't know how it's faster than Atom for everyone else, I haven't had that experience on any machine yet. I loved Atom, but it's not getting as much support/updates now and the remote-edit package I use every day will occasionally not work at all.
