yt-dlp is genuinely a superior solution to downloading any given file. It is rediculously adaptable and automatable.

I keep recommending JDownloader because it can download everything from Youtube just fine and has an actual GUI. You can leech whole playlists and channels, choose different variants etc.

I only used yt-dlp for about two weeks when they were introducing the "hard" login requirement for watching/downloading age restricted videos. Now the only way to do that is through sites like y2matego.

Does it work for generic web files?

What types? It can download just about everything I can think of. Images, videos, HTML files, text, you name it. It's highly customizable. You can even input your logins and passwords for DDL sites like Rapidgator, Keep2share or Filejoker. It also monitors your clipboard - if you copy a link, it automatically adds it to the "linkgrabber" tab. If you ctrl+A a whole page, it will scan for links and automatically add them to the list as well.

Seconding JDownloader. It's great for downloading youtube videos, public and private instagram posts, large files from certain sites, videos from X, among other things... as long as you know how to set up your cookies in the app, but that's not even hard.

it would be great to have a software that could take the code from a spotify liked songs library and instantly download those songs on soulseek

Click on a folder to change the download directory and... I absolutely hate how the GUY jumps around and changes, expanding, adding and removing fields depending on what you clicked on. It's a good program but...

You can do everything with this program, you just need to spend a few hours setting it up. You can even manually edit right click menu entries!

Would highly recommend giving Qutebrowser a spin if you like Vim and ricing. It is probably one of the most customizable browsers out there right now. Easy to use if you like Vim (not that hard to learn the basics), very easy to tweak and personalize since essentially all of it is located in a simple config.py file. I find that it is especially useful for older machines that choke on Firefox or Chromium. If you are someone who hates how much Javabloat is everywhere these days, I can also recommend setting up keybinds for enabling/disabling java for the current tab you're on, or just popping something like ":set -u https://blackpeoplemeet.com/ content.javascript.enabled false" directly in the browser, or in the config.py for persistence.

Atom has been abandoned once Microsoft bought out GitHub and didn't want a competitor to VS Code. Both of which are bloated webshit garbage.

I tried moving to Notepad3 at one point and I found it's lack of tabs a major detriment. As much of a sperg Don Ho is, Notepad++ is still the GOAT, and I trust his judgment about what to do and not do when preaching his message in the software. Because when Charlie Hebdo happened, he released an update that would autotype his virtue signal and people would question whether or not N++ got compromised. After that, it only appears if you open the About page of the software, and if you download it from the website, but then again, winget is a thing so why would you.

In short, Don Ho really mellowed the fuck out and that's saying something. And there is no good alternative to Notepad++. Maybe Neovim if you want to be extra autistic, though nvim deals with gigantic files really well so it's worth having installed, and it's worth to get the hang of vim basics in case you end up managing a Linux server that has it as default.

Zed - https://zed.dev/ is pretty okay as a NP++/vscode replacement.

I don't get why people like np++. I used it for a very long time as a "normie" general text editor, but that was before I actually do any coding and seriously shop around for a text editor. Np++ and Irfanview somehow still have that Windows XP look and feels to them.

Weird that nobody recommend Sublime Text. Still the best (imo) and the fastest (objectively!!!) text editor around. Unfortunately the development has slowed down in the recent years. It also technically a paid/ nagware (like Winrar) but I haven't got any reminder to pay in a very long time.

I heard Zed is great and pretty fast too, but it (along with Cursor) does the AI gimmick which is a red flag for me so I stick with Sublime.

Heavy and bloated Electron "text editor" like VScode has no practical use case for me. If I need features, I'm just gonna use actual IDE like Visual Studio proper or Jetbrain suite.

1. People don't know that it's WinRAR/Total Commander style nagware, or don't want to pay 100 bucks to avoid the nag screen, or don't want to fuck around with cracks.
2. People just want a better notepad, not a fully fledged code editor. Notepad++ fits the bill for that need.

Even if I'd find Sublime/Zed as a better VS Code alternative, I'd still use N++ for generic text editing, just because it's simpler for those tasks.
 
Have been archiving historical photos on an older ver. of MacOS using VueScan (paid/"Professional") for the scanning and BBEdit (free ver.) for the text documentation. Can't say enough positive about either product. It's been like butter, basically. Some of my previous workflows for archival work have been so tedious.
