I have been noticing that what interests people the most is to know immediately what is the best software for each situation and not extensive and boring analysis about products. The here and now, the safest, free and robust are the words of order.

That said, I will no longer write articles about each software I think is the best in the area. Instead, they will be listed here. This will allow a more dynamic and up to date flow of information and, at the same time, creates a single point for it.
