I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn’t received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.
I use windirstat all the time, although it’s slow as shit I like the way it works.
Me too! It just works.
WizTree FTW https://www.diskanalyzer.com/
I use WizTree too and it works great. Scans entire C: root in a few seconds
I was gonna say something like

, but there’s still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.cSo… retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).
Dang thats…a lot more than I expected for

I used Winamp all the way up until last year at which point I finally sold my gaming PC and switched over to Mac + PlayStation. Out of everything on my PC I probably miss Winamp the most!
That really whips the llama’s ass.
Isn’t it maintained again?
Picasa from Google is still the best photo library management tool I’ve ever come across.
It was, after google bought it it was only a matter of time…
I still use DVD Decrypter, mostly to rip old TV Series I have where I want the files split up by episode when ripping.
MP3Gain, the latest stable version was released in 2005 and I’ve been using it since then. It adjusts the volume level of MP3s using ReplayGain so that you don’t have to change the volume between tracks. There may be newer software out there that does the same thing, but MP3Gain is free/open source and it works fine for my needs. I still maintain a library of MP3s, partly because my car is too old to do Carplay/Android Auto, but it can play MP3s from a USB drive.
I like to post to my WordPress blog from my desktop, so I use Open Live Writer. It’s allow me the option to write without being connected to the Internet. I doubt it still in development.
Oh wow thats cool. I remember Windows Live Writer from way back.

Easy way to visualize and clean up disk space
“This tool uses a sunburst chart to display the usage of your hard disk or other media. The chart shows all major files and folders from all directory levels at once.”
I’ll have to check that out. I’ve been using Space Sniffer. I like how it updates in realtime.
WoW Classic. Hardly maintained and bug rich. Circa 2004(?)
In a previous life I did the occasional custom home theater remote control program job. Like Harmony, but better (I think). Anyway, my personal remote is a 20 year old remote with programming software from the same era.
The connection to the pc to upload the program is a serial Jack. My small form factor pc doesn’t have room for a permanent serial card, so I use a serial to usb adapter that’s 15 or so years old.
I’ve got the drivers for all of this stuff tucked away in multiple backups, alongside .txt files with notes on how to get it all going again, when, like this week, I add new gear and need to tweak the remote.
I guess Harmony counts for me, since Logitech officially killed the product. The day my Harmony account stops working will be a sad day.
I have been looking for an alternative. Haven’t really found one yet.
I know it’s far from what you asked, but the closest answer to the question is this Minecraft resource pack made for a few versions back.
What can I say, I keep my software up-to-date.
Does WinRAR count?

It’s absolute madness to use a text editor with only one mode.
Navigating is half the battle!

It’s only old by the standards of phone apps, but I use a tricorder app from 2013 that got taken down by paramount for IP infringing. It presents more or less raw data from phone sensors in an LCARS interface.
Nikon Capture NX2 for editing raw nikon files. Can’t beat it. I’ve never really understood light room and importing photos. But the colour control points in NX2 were and are fantastic. There are a number of really good plugins I’ve bought for it too.
