I've been using Tiled software for quite a while and I must say it's been great. It's incredibly easy to use and intuitive. The interface is clean and simple, making it easy to quickly create your own maps for whatever project you're working on. The ability to customize tiles and objects within the map is great and allows for a lot of creativity. The tile sets are also very varied and can fit any kind of game, from modern to classic. The amount of available tutorials also help to quickly learn the basics of the software. It's an amazing tool for anyone interested in game development.
