You know, I agree with the opinion that everyone uses the tools they know can get the job done.
However, sometimes I just wish people wouldn't just pick the first tool for the job that comes up in Google's search results. People should look at more tools and then decide which tool is going to suit their use case best.
I can't for the life of me figure out why some people prefer using ad-ridden tools over ad-free, even open-source ones that work better in every way. The best example for this is people using μTorrent or BitTorrent® for the BitTorrent protocol instead of Deluge, Transmission, qBittorrent, and some others. They just typed in "how2download torrent for free uwu" and downloaded the objectively worst tool.

Pick your tools wisely, not by letting some search algorithm recommend you the worst one.

    People making objective, well-researched choices? What utopia is this?

    I got used to uTorrent, because it was minimal before, still use it, though I've disabled all ads ;)

    You’re totally right but your example not so good since I fire up download and never check the ui until it pops the bubble from the below sayin dl finished.

    Using outdated versions of clients leaves your system vulnerable.

    @neriald My example is very good because μTorrent also sucks when trying to seed a lot of torrents.

    Oh this looks likes the place...
    Small shout out for big Tixati ! I just love this torrent client.

    I swear I am not in any way affiliated with it, I just think it's the exact thing you have described, no-ads, no-spyware etc. and because how good it is and yet it's probably developed by one or few individuals I think it should be promoted.

    @GTom Too bad it's not open-source, honestly.
