why not just use ffmpeg for everything?

There is no native support for 10-bit H264/HEVC encoding on FFMPEG. You have to hack it to support 10-bit encoding. I'd much rather just use staxrip and call it a day. I still use FFMPEG to encode Opus audio files and WebMs though.

It's a good general purpose encoder and has more options and stability than any GUI encoder out there. The only reason I don't stick to FFMPEG completely is because the creators decided to be dicks and make it complicated and hard to encode 10-bit videos with it. Otherwise a very nice encoder to learn to use

It has some retarded defaults necessitating you know what they are to fix them. Its error reporting is nonexistent.
Some of us don't find joy in searching for the syntax error time and again. We want it to work, and if it doesn't, we want it to tell us exactly why.
ffmpeg is a fine set of decoders. I use it to extend the capabilities of Audacity and VirtualDub. But for an encoder, there's no substitute for MeGUI.

If you liked MeGUI then you should give Staxrip a try. Just don't download the beta version (too unstable). I've found Staxrip to be the best GUI encoder out there imho. Includes native 10-bit video encoding which is the best feature I love about it.

That wouldn't cut it. I write my own Avisynth scripts, and MeGUI's error reporting and preview are invaluable.

I see, suite yourself then. I might look into MeGui, that error reporting might come in handy. I tried it once but the complexity of it pushed me away.

Yeah, it's a handful, but once you get used to its layout you come to appreciate it.
It's not a straightforward encoder, it's more a set of individually developed tools. You have to put things together yourself. Sometimes there's three ways of going about the same thing, so it can be confusing until you can picture where each might be plugged into various workflows.
The fact that most people aren't going to be able to do much with the main window (since it wants an avisynth script) means it isn't all that newbie friendly. It throws you in the deep end of the pool and hopes the newbie will click around until he finds the shallow end in the One-Click encoder.

Not everyone succumbs to the belief that entering meaningless commands all day on a hobbyist OS makes them a 1337 h4xx0r. You did. Your trophy's around here somewhere, I'm sure.

I know this is bait, but the strength of tmux and vim isn't the "meaningless commands" -- it's the keybinds.

You're right, though, that some people seem to enjoy using hopelessly bloated 8GiB text editors written in Java instead. I bet you do, bud.

That's actually it. Like there's other bullshit like CCleaner or Speccy, but they're not 'essential', they're just nice to have. I'd even put up with Windows Media Player if I couldn't have VLC.
