Excellent alternative to proprietary software

This is a fantastic open source alternative that provides all the features I need. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the community support is excellent.

Good but has room for improvement

Solid alternative with most features working well. Some advanced features are missing compared to the proprietary version, but it's getting better with each update.
