This one is actually baffling to me. The only dimension where chess.com is better is that it has better players at the very top end... which is not a concern for anybody except ultra-high level GMs.
Fair enough, but the couple of hours it takes to learn to do Word level stuff in Emacs will be many times repaid by the time you don’t spend swearing at Word….
organicmaps -> google maps Of course Google Maps has traffic prediction and restaurant ratings, there's no good open alternative yet. For standard foot, cycle, car navigation I fuond organicmaps enough. And it's open, free, offline, no tracking.
Have you tried Magic Earth as well? I could never get myself to use OSM or Organic but found Magic Earth a rather intriguing (if rarely mentioned) option
OSM data is much better than Google Maps data for some things. OsmAnd is a really powerful map tool for when Google assumes too much about your use case.
Seriously though, most of the software I use is open source. Here's a fun fact: there are some use-cases for which there is no proprietary, public-release software because the open-source software is so much better. For example, ebook management with Calibre.
I like Metabase more than Looker. It's simpler, nicer to look at, easier to get to where you need to go.
CAVEAT: If you're an enterprise and need beefy things like SOC2 compliance, SAML controls. source control, have 3+ data engineers working together, and other things that you are just not interested in if you're say Series B or earlier, just use Looker and avoid the headaches.

Isn't WordPress open-source?
I highly recommend it if you need a stat counter, but not if you need insights.
