Oh, Konkakt reminds me of VSCO/VSCL and the many SFZ players, which effectively together make up a fully-FOSS alternative. Oh, and Freepats has a few one-offs for things like dry electric guitar and bass guitar SFZs.
SPAN is pretty decent, especially if you use a little trick in the free version to freeze a frequency spectrum of a pro mix to reference.

Hah, you read my mind with sfzs. I was gonna put it in my list but honestly none of the sfz hosting vsts I use stand out in any particular way.
The sfzs themselves are amazing though. I’ve gotten to hear and play with more uncommon instruments due to the wider sampling community.
