Some computer tools I use are so valuable to me, I can hardly believe that they are supplied to me for free. Both free in the $0.00 sense and free in the freedom sense.
Here is a list of a few of my favorites.
- Vim - a better vi
- Mozilla - a better browser
- Perl - My favorite programming language
- Linux - my favorite OS
- GNU - more s/w that you can shake a stick at, including compilers, editors, window managers, gui toolkits, etc..
- ...
The list could obviously go on, but still you get the sense that the depth and breadth of software that I like to use. I can't believe people provide it for free. That I get the source code and a license that allows me to change it to suit my own needs. Pretty great stuff.
