1. Support for Windows and Linux (Android coming one day).
2. 1% zoom increments for my weary eyes.
3. Chrome extensions (Google Translate and Tideways mainly).
There are some additional features which are nice-to-have like tab tiling and cloning which come in handy for web development.
I can make it look grey and unobtrusive on Windows without faffing about with theme extensions so it is nice to use for Netflix and other media.
It took Nokia a long time to release Pie for the Nokia 8 Sirroco. Even when it was released nothing appeared OTA in my region and I had to download the update from a third party site.
I am talking about the colours used for graphical user interfaces not those for primitive text terminals. From the start GUIs were dark text on a black background. That includes the console emulators like xterm.
Use of light text on dark backgrounds is, like low contrast use, a modern fad and is hard to read.
The first GUIs I used were DECWindows on VMS and OPEN LOOK on Solaris. Both used dark text on a light background. That is what I am used too and what I still prefer. I find it hard to read light text on dark backgrounds.
And don't get me started on the fad for low contrast affecting Linux GUI themes and trendy website designs...
The correct side to stand on depends on where you are. In Osaka and the surrounding region we stand on the right side. Only clueless out-of-towners from Tokyo would be dumb enough to stand on the left blocking busy commuters.
I would personally find it frustrating to be blocked when there is clear space beyond the blockage that I could be walking up. I have a train to catch.
I use a CentOS 7 as a development workstation and multiple test, staging and production servers. All with systemd. It is reliable and gives me no trouble at all.
The curtains in my bedroom are rubbish AND I have LEDs from a my smartphone and Bluetooth speaker (needed for white noise) bleeding light. I bought a bunch of surprisingly good eye masks from a 100 JPY shop (Seria) which keep out the light until the horribly early time I have to get up for my long daily commute.
I switched to Vivaldi. A little rough around the edges still but very usable. I get blink and extensions from the Chrome store (like Google Translate and the Tideways extension). In addition there is finer control over zoom increments and a whole bunch of other nice improvements over Chrome.
Looking forward to their sync implementation (coming soon) and Android app (coming later).
Reading a daily paper used to be one of the highlights of my day. Especially if I had plenty of time in the morning and could relax with the paper and a cup of tea. Bliss.
I read the same publication online every day but the experience is diminished.
They are running a profitable business while keeping to the spirit of the GPL. If you don't want to pay them for support you are free to use CentOS and get the benefit of their contributions to the Open Source community.
I do use Facebook but I don't think it is very well designed. It is low down on my list of sites I would pay money to use if I was forced to. Very much in the "ditch if paywalled" group.
I work at a small company with 4 IT staff. Redmine suits us fine. Open source, locally hosted and the application users soon worked out how to submit and track issues.
We used to use Mantis but wanted some basic project management features. The subversion repository integration is nice too.
GNOME Shell is my favourite Linux desktop. I am using it happily on my CentOS 7 development machine at work. It is great that Ubuntu are going to adopt GNOME as their default desktop but you just know it is going to be tainted by one of their ugly brown/orange themes...

I have never bought any Apple hardware or paid for an Apple service. Bunch of assholes.
I have been using Vivaldi for many months now.

The only good planet is a dead planet.

And this is an Android One branded device.
Of course I meant "dark text on a light background". Where is my coffee..

My llama's ass has never been so whipped.
I presume this doesn't affect their Android One devices. They have some pretty nice pure Android handsets out just now.
I deleted my account earlier this month. Feel much better for it,

Usenet was my favourite thing about the internet. I still use it but feel sad that hardly anyone else does.
I ditched Sublime Text for Microsoft's Visual Studio Code because Sublime doesn't support Japanese IME under Linux. I use Vim as well for quick stuff.

You lack curiosity.

Maybe if it was open source we could get Japanese input working on Linux.

Giorgio Moroder not Queen - though Freddie Mercury does sing on it.

VR is a fad - like 3D movies. Too much faffing around for mainstream appeal.
