Here at Opensource.com, we thought it would be interesting to survey some of our authors to get a feel for what tools they feel are antiquated (but perhaps still useful!) and what they think of the replacement utilities. What follows is a series of responses and a bit of fun, too. We sent out the following prompt: Have you discovered some of your favorite tools have become outdated or deprecated? Or maybe you just switched it up for something new? What do you use now? Tell us a little about how you feel it is helpful to have made the switch.
