Ether you found it to be too distracting, waste of the time, too low of a quality, too bloated or you just don't trust particular brand and found another alternative...
What service or tool are you glad you stopped using?

Pycharm => Vs code
JavaScript => Typescript
Vanila JavaScript or jQuery => React
CSS => SCSS
Bootstrap => Material UI
And now I am learning estate for state management with react and it seems much better than context+useReducer
Good black coffee has changed my life!
Great list ✨Thanks for the input 🙏❤
All manner of online tools to check string length / amount of characters.
I coded my own bash script which is crazy simple and I never have to leave the command line again!

I stopped using bootstrap and jquery in favor of custom css grid layout mini framework and vanilla js.
Also planning to try postgre instead mysql, I definitely keep Chrome as main browser.
I'm switching from jetbrains to VS Code too, jetbrains are better tbh but heavier too which makes some processes slower so I'm cutting down some heavy apps. The plugin for adding jetbrains key mappings helped a lot too 😆
Windows > MacOS (can also be Linux but I found OSx is much stable than most distros)
not worth the stress when PC become slow and it eventually will! Can't turn off Windows Updates since 10 came out. Not a gamer so no real benefit for me there. Windows is just so "messy" and slow.
ummm... I don't think anybody has ever gone back to php from c#. the .net ecosystem offers too much convenience, performance and features to let go of. linq, strong typing, kestral, compiled binaries, nuget, visual studio, and a whole bunch of c# language features are really difficult to live without. even the php syntax just feels wrong now to me after using c# over the years. btw I have totally ditched mvc even on .net and I use servicestack for making web apis. there's no way I can let that go either. but I will have a look at laravel just for fun when I get a chance. 🙏🙏🙏
javascript -> typescript
jquery -> vanilla js
bootstrap -> css in js
backbone.js
it has some good ideas, like how it organizes view components. I used such structure even without backbine in some app. but the models are useless and having every data object trigger events pretty much lead to spagetty code. the routervlooks powerfull and usefull but alternatives like page.js are a much better fit for growing projects. not to mentions routers, integrated to our todays frameworks.
Sometimes i wonder if some piece of widely adopted tech, is actually holding our industry back.
Postman > Milkman
I started developing my own alternative to postman and finally have the perfect tool for all my Api development needs
Java (for Android) -> Dart + Flutter
Adobe Experience Manager!
I started web development 6 years ago back when I was learning PHP.
Since then I've ditched many tools and technologies for better alternatives. Some of them I can remember are:
notepad++ > brackets > atom > VSCode
Left npp when I came to know about brackets. but brackets too couldn't keep up with rise of atom. atom is too buggy and slow nowadays so VSCode for life.
Xampp on windows > NGINX, PHP, MySql setup on local Ubuntu server
Best decision of my life.
Bootstrap > Materialize > Own CSS reset and utility file.
CSS libraries are bloat.
jQuery > vanilla JS
youmightnotneedjquery.com/
Windows 7 > Windows 10 > Ubuntu > Manjaro
F**k Windows! Seriously.
PHP > Node.js
PHP is just over complicated.
MySql > MongoDB
MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data as JSON-like documents. This works really well with Node.js
Wordpress > Custom CMS / any static site generator.
Wordpress is just too heavy and overkill for most cases and I don't like PHP anyways.
Google Drive > GItHub
No explainition needed
bash > zsh
like bash, zsh is a also a UNIX shell but offers more customization/theming options and git integration.
Shitty laptop > somewhat OK desktop.
Hotel > Trivago
Stopped using Google Chrome and now use Brave instead.
Macbook Air -> Thinkpad x220
macOS -> Arch
sublime -> vim
