Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn’t come close)
SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn’t fly.
