Would I still Choose this Tool?

The initial topic for today's (2026-09-22) chat is: What tool(s) have you stopped using over the past year or two? An IDE, language, tech stack, 3rd party SaaS, something else? Why did you stop using it? Was it a conscious decision? What, if anything, replaced the tool?

Inspired by me evaluating the tools used by Weekly Dev Chat and if we should keep them, switch, or something else. Asking the question: "If I started fresh today, would I still choose this tool?"

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

P.S. Image created by ChatGPT. Really likes green, which I assume it got from our website theme.

Beside him a cobwebbed box labelled "Old Tools" holds greyed-out, crossed-out app icons and sits on books labelled Time, Effort, and Investment, while a network of bright green tool icons grows on the other side
