Ask HN: What (desktop?) software have you paid for recently?

For me possibly the only thing I've bought in years is Simplify3D - http://Simplify3D.com/ - which is a fairly powerful STL-slicer-to-any-3d-printer magic box of tricks that I'm very happy with. There are open source kinda-solutions that I got tired of fighting.

I'm getting pretty close to buying Scrivener - https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview - despite it's various weird interface choices and apparently multiple conflicting codebases for difference OS.

I've also run in to the limits of Inkscape and can crash/hang it reliably which will mean a move to Adobe, which I've never touched before.

Curious to hear what else is out there?
