> I don't know if there are any proprietary programming tools in widespread use any more. Isn’t Xcode is a widely used programming tool?

  Ah, good call. I admit that my claim is based on having periodically googled "top programming languages" over the years. So a few proprietary tools may have fallen through my sieve.

    Another obvious example is the CUDA toolkit - unless you don't consider it a programming tool.

      This might be a case similar to embedded development, which has seen much slower adoption of free tooling. And I have a pretty broad definition of "programming," so by all rights I should have mentioned Excel.
