AlternativeTo.net

A good-looking website that lists alternatives to well-known commercial software. However, the lists aren’t that well informed. For instance, Notepad++ (a terrific open source text & code editor by its own right) tops the Adobe Dreamweaver replacement list, which is a bit like proposing steering wheels as a replacement for car tires. Dreamweaver is big and slow and will suck bigtime if you use it as a text editor, on the other hand Notepad ++ is not a WYSIWYG application - which is the exact thing Dreamweaver is intended to be. And what’s with Handbrake (a video transcoder) as an alternative to Adobe Premiere (video editing)?

Bizarre.
