it's just VLC trying to prevent you from being a even bigger faglord, -and failing at it.

1. GCC and Clang are pretty much the best compilers in terms of supported target platforms, language standards compliance, and in many cases, performance of generated executables (ICC has some advantages, but only on Intel chips).

2. Despite recent attempts by Mozilla to sabotage their own product, Firefox still has the best plugin/add-on/extension support of any browser. Chromium comes in a nice close second here.

3. Any open source torrent client beats uTorrent, as versions past 2.2.1 are ad-riddled garbage, and 2.2.1 itself is insecure. Personally, I prefer Deluge, but I have heard only good things about rTorrent.

4. Android is, in general, less vulnerable than iOS, and supports more hardware platforms. It also can be modified by the user to be able to have root privileges in a way that does not introduce additional vulnerabilities to the phone, or prevent the user from being able to (manually) update their OS to the latest and most secure version. From a security standpoint, it is a clearly superior option to iOS, so long as good physical security is practiced, and so long as one stays away from heavily modified OEM versions of the OS that do not receive regular security updates.

5. SQLite has no viable alternatives as an embedded relational database. It is simply the best at what it does.

6. No video player supports as many codecs as VLC. It is clearly a superior choice, particularly when obscure video formats are involved.

7. 7zip supports perhaps more archive formats than any other equivalent software.

8,9,10. Most decent retro console emulation software is FLOSS. Project64, Visual Boy Advance, and Snes9x are all GPL, and best in class for their respective platforms.

All of them, because they respect your freedom.

They also don't assume I'm a retarded monkey like OP who doesn't know how to code. If you can't see the source code, you're a cuck.

>>58847218
I disagree. I quit VLC years ago back in my Windows days in favor of the far superio The KMPlayer. Eventually The KMPlayer was supersceded by PotPlayer which is still by far better than VLC.

>>58838613
Is gcc really better than, say, the intel c compiler?
>>
>>58847423
Probably not. It's doubtful that Intel is paying money to develop and maintain a compiler unless they actually find it to be benefitial in some way. That being said, it's unlikely that 99% of programmers would ever notice any noteworthy difference in the final compiled executable.
