I actually do use Sublime text on Mac, but on windows I just use Notepad++ out of habit I guess. More readable than regular old notepad on windows.

It's true you still do get some nice features. It just feels so old and out of place these days.
Wallpaper Engine - Can be purchaed through Steam, its quite cheap. Turn your desktop wallpapers into animated loops. Lots and lots of options through Steam Workshop, and it uses very very little CPU power. (<2%)
For those using Audacity for audio processing, will it clean up hisses and static in sound waves? Any other free programs that can help?
I have a few sound files with a lot of background noise in them.

I use MangaMeeya. It is very old and not updated anymore but my pc is also old.
If you want something modern then check out ComicRack.
I always replace notepad with Notepad2-mod on Windows.
Heavier editing goes to Sublime Text or Visual Studio/Xcode.
TortoiseSVN on Windows, Cornerstone 2 on macOS for subversion. (Not paying for Cornerstone 3 when they can't even be bothered to update Subversion past 1.8). GitHub for git on both.
Acorn for image editing on macOS, I prefer it to Pixelmator. Paint.NET on Windows although I'd like to find something more equivalent to Acorn on Windows in anyone has any suggestions.
StartIsBack+, Display Fusion, f.lux, Audio Switcher and Fences to improve my Windows 8.1 experience.

Yeah I used it to reduce static from a VHS tape rip I did. It works well if you can isolate quiet parts of the audio file where only the background static is present. You can then build a noise profile on that and remove that signature from the entire audio file. There are YouTube videos showing how to do it.
Wow that works great. Thanks for the tip.
That's amazing for a free program. I'm going to donate to this.
For project management I haven't been able to beat Redmine. It does everything we want and the their plugin game is strong. Does Trello export to MS project?
I recently tried out Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, and they're excellent. Great alternatives for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and thankfully not subscription based.
Otherwise I can also recommend Krita (free and open source) for digital drawing and painting. Clip Studio Pro is great for lineart work.

Don't know.
I'm not familiar with MS Project, but here's Trello's article on data exporting: http://help.trello.com/article/747-exporting-data-from-trello-1
Here's what I use that I don't see here yet.
Not sure if non Linux version of these
Whipper - - A CD ripper that uses accurip comparisons for accurate rips and musicbrainz database for metadata.
Tiny Tiny RSS - - A Google Reader replacement you can install on your own server.
Liferaea - - A desktop RSS reader that you can point to an external server.

Everything - Instantaneous local file search. This should be a standard feature on Windows, but until that happens then Everything is the best option.
Is there any calculator in macOS similar to Microsoft Mathematics? I like how it autoformats everything while typing.
I'm using Magic Number Machine at the moment but you have to click on a very precise spot for editing (bleh). I've also found nasty bugs that make it crash.

- I exclusively use SublimeText 3 for my word processing and programming needs. Package Control is a Godsend. You can change the editor to suits your needs.
- MacType is essential to make the font in your windows machine looks much better. Here's a comparison
HoneyView is good.
My disk is always low on space
