I was going to say aspell (currently at 0.68 up from 0.10 on 1998-09-12) http://aspell.net/man-html/ChangeLog.html http://aspell.net/man-html/ChangeLog.html but of course the "used by many" is the debatable part of your question Even PuTTY I would guess is not "by many" but who am I to say not having been locked to Windows for ages gettext at 0.22 up from 0.7.1 on 1995-07-04 would certainly be in the short list https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=blob;f=ChangeLog.0;h=de6c8113a12cf9524936ae7fdc3806eb1839b306;hb=refs/heads/0.22.x#l1767 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=blob;f=...

PuTTY is surprisingly popular among hardware hackers, for quickly testing serial devices.

  This. It's invaluable for checking serial ports on Windows or when WSL otherwise butchers serial data coming through Windows ports.

Putty is my default go to and everyone i work with too.. i couldn't even imagine anyone worth their salt not knowing it, let alone using it. Edit: default go to on Windows

  I am lazy and just use this several times a day: /usr/bin/screen /dev/tty.usbserial-blah It’s been a while but I think this works in WSL, too. I am worth my salt.

    Let me get this, (win perspective for now), I need to open a bash wsl, then screen session to the tty panel? - with a config (con type. port, other vars) maybe. Or open putty and retain my saved sessions ? I believe you are worth your salt, I always like the use of screen, but surely you can see for win, putty is just easier ? Edit : wsl being a lot more mem required than putTy

      It depends. I spend all my time in shells so it’s easier to run screen. Others spend more time and have more comfort with the GUI and they might choose PuTTY. I do use PuTTY frequently, for oddball serial connections and when I want reliable logging with no fuss.

  I just use the ssh built into my IDE. Admittedly I'm pretty low sodium though.
