If you haven't tried QGIS (qgis.org) in a while, I definitely recommend giving it a go. It has come a long way since 3.x was first released and the momentum doesn't seem to be slowing down! I use it for a good number of side projects outside of my full time gig at which we are still in the ESRI ecosystem. You'll never run into a 'pay wall', not in 60 days, not ever!
