You're soliciting a list. That's it.
The Stack Exchange Google+ Plussing share upthumbing of it said why the best:
There are a host of free and open sourced alternatives to the default Windows image app.
And most of the time, when it's linked to from the Google+ or Twitter accounts, it's going to be a bad question.
Asking for alternatives should be the aside to the main, in the case of whatever you're trying to do in the app you're currently using doesn't jive. Not the whole reason.
The edits did not make it worse or to a point that it was no longer what it was from the beginning, just that it floated it back to the top.
Alternatives and recommendations are both not constructive and too localised. For one, you end up with answers that are little more than throwing logs onto the fire, seeing what sticks and not what works. The only expertise you need here is to use a search engine with:
wonky-product alternatives
or
wonky-product "better than"
Too localised in that it fits a narrow features request better done through aggregate searches, ticking boxes as you go down the requirements of what you're looking for in a car.
How to constructively ask about alternatives
- Try something - Show us you've done more than ask people to look for product descriptions to throw back with a screenshot.
- Be clear in failed efforts - Tell us what program you're currently using and what thing you can't seem to do or get out of it
- Be receptive and open to alternatives - Your first port of call is to get it done in your current program. Should someone think another application would do better, they can proffer such.
Free is not a "thing" that a program can't seem to do. That's a voluntary user restriction. Yes, we all look for free software, but if that's your first and only goal, you're doing it wrong.
