Part 1: Open-sourceįast and simple, it works well for quick editing text files. After going through it (and the comments), I learnt about a few tools (maybe 3 or 4) that I have now included here. This list was not inspired on Scott Hanselman's list, in part because I had only discovered it very recently. This list has been discussed on /r/windows, /r/DataHoarder, and Hacker News. I don't plan to add every app I use because some may be too specific (but some on this list are very specific too, so, I don't know, I may publish the criteria I followed later).

I could have called it "an awesome list of the best applications and tools for Windows", but I am not that ambitious. This is an opinionated compilation of GUI software I use on Windows, and it is work-in-progress.
