> Office, SQL Server or even Visual Studio - even when most of them have better open source alternatives.

I'll leave the middle one, but c'mon there is nothing close to VS and the open alternatives to Office are not in the same ball-park.

My guess is upwards of 90% of users would not use features in MSOffice not available in Open/LibreOffice. Most organizations are "creatively encouraged" (ie. forced) to use MSOffice.

Similar for SQLServer - Windows shops kind of default to it.

VS is the exception.

Open/LibreOffice have better compatibility with old versions of office. Visio is another standout with no real Open Source competitor.

I would put anything made by Jetbrains in front of VS in the imaginary queue ordering the products in the same ball-park, not just close. Some of their products (Intellij Idea Community, Pycharm Community) are open source.
