I really like simple software that is built for a specific task which it then does extraordinary with a simple to understand codebase. Similar to the philosophy of suckless.org.
What are your favourite programs that “suck less”?

mpv, imv, zathura, ffmpeg, imagemagick, pandoc, yt-dlp, yazi/ranger, curl/wget
I realize many of this don’t strictly conform to the suckless philosophy. (which is meme imo). They more loosly follow the UNIX principle: Do one thing and do it well. I would have added emacs, but why emacs follows the unix principle is an argument for another time
