For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

To flip the CAD thing on its head, if I want a Python API for AutoCAD, Creo, or SolidWorks, their response is "fuck you, use our GUI cuz that's easier for us to implement license verification with. And oh yeah, it's all Window only." The only CAD software I find remotely useful is FreeCAD. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's the baseline that all other CAD softwares somehow fail to match.
