Ask HN: What old desktop software are you still using?

7 pointsby mijustinabout 7 years ago
I&#x27;m still using Adobe Fireworks CS5 (released in 2010).<p>I use it every day, but I can’t imagine paying monthly for it. It might sound silly for the SaaS folks, but I grew up buying desktop software, and it <i>feels</i> insane to pay for it as a subscription.<p>(Incidentally, I also use Transmit FTP, Screenflow, and Deckset almost daily as well. They&#x27;re not SaaS. I happily pay for new version upgrades if I feel I need the new improvements).

Here are a few of mine:<p>* famiROM &amp; yychr for NES homebrew development<p>* QBasic on Windows 95 for a pet project<p>* Using Illustrator and InDesign CS2 for my book design hobby<p>* ReplicatorG for 3d printing as MakerBot&#x27;s new software is incredibly finicky on my Windows 7 laptop for some reason<p>* Google Sketchup because it&#x27;s the only CAD program I know how to use well (thanks middle school &#x27;tech&#x27; class!)

I still use PS CS5, Forklift, Keynote, Screenflow, and a number of different code editors like Vim, VS Code, Phpstorm.<p>Actually now that I&#x27;m thinking about it I have quite alot of applications still.
