The "What is the best software for..." thread
I'm just going to post different kind of paid/free software we are susceptible to use the most with my choice in most categories. I'll list only the things I've used while giving some favoritism for satisfying free software. I'm not going to detail each of my choice and compare them with others otherwise I'll be there until tomorrow. Maybe this will be done later, though the comparison wiki articles on each categories gives you already a good overview of each software.
Feel free to give your choice in some categories, point out flaws in my choices or comment my choices as well as adding new categories. This is not a rom hacking specific tools discussion though it could become one if you want to do some research, right now it's rather a general post concerning video, audio, image, programming and other software comparisons.
