I think Linux is one of the great accomplishments of modern human society, together with Wikipedia. OpenSSL and the other Open Source cryptographic libraries for providing a safety net when our politicians decide to tighten their grip on privacy and secure communications. At least we as developers can still fall back on all the OpenSSL cloned repos and see from there.

A lot of them. They might not always look nice, unfortunately, but there sure are a ton of tools that equal or rival professional stuff (and professional stuff often uses a bunch of them anyway nowadays)
Surprised we made it this far with no love for Firebird... err... Firefox.
(It's got tabs!)
With my OpenBSD developer hat on, I'll say we're grateful for hardware donations (from new laptops, to esoteric networking gear, etc.)

Also the OpenBSD foundation is ~5% away from its fundraising goal for 2025! :-)

Linux, particularly Debian.
Linux #1
And recently:
Bluesky Social - https://github.com/bluesky-social
AT Protocol - https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto
AtProto is a very unexpected choice to see here. Not because it's not good, but it's just very young.
Why did you chose AtProto?
Entire development/software stack: Linux+gnu/Debian, gcc/llvm, PostgreSQL/MySQL, git, Kotlin/Java/jvm, TypeScipt/js, maven, frameworks (currently Javalin+Vue.js).
And Firefox. And open-weights LLMs we can run locally/privately.
A lot of them. They might not always look nice, unfortunately, but there sure are a ton of tools that equal or rival professional stuff (and professional stuff often uses a bunch of them anyway nowadays)
