I realize that it's certainly a software-rec question which I saw another post on meta about. That author tried to make their question less "software-reccy" and thereby got it reopened. I'm not sure if I've made my question any less "software-reccy" as after all, I am indeed looking for software recommendations. However, I have made the question less lengthy. Does it qualify for reopening now? Or are all software-rec questions somehow implicitly off-topic here?
