I tend to use updates rather than new software. That said, I have to go with the only one I've used a few times a week since discovery in January this year.

From this list SUMo is the only one I use, so my vote goes to....... SUMo. :-D
And of course it's a great, very useful program (been using it for years) which deserves my vote.

For anyone that's confused by this response: Cornflower suggested something that wasn't on the list but that entry WAS added in the last two years. PDFArranger was left off the list just because I did an overwrite for a junk entry. As a result, it didn't show up in the year-end output. Glad it was mentioned it as that's definitely one of my nominations.

Thanks Cornflower.

Attached are the updated graphics for 2020-21 since I remembered the last set I posted were for 2020 only.

Looks like a decent number of entries :)

Agreed. Also, it's worth noting that Specular came up with something last year as well, even though I held off on running the poll. Thanks again.
