This might be an unusual answer, but OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD files are just so much easier to work with when you’re doing 3d printing than some random .stl file that might be non-manifold (have holes, self-intersections, whatever) and is usually really hard to modify in reasonably precise ways.
If it’s an organic shape (a human form or whatever), then it probably makes sense to share it as an .stl. But if it’s a wall mount for some device or an enclosure for a Raspberry Pi or something, it’d be so much nicer if they’d made it in OpenSCAD rather than FreeCAD or TinkerCAD or whatever.
If it’s not in OpenSCAD, it’s honestly more often than not unusable. Even if I don’t need to tweak the file. Unless it’s an organic shape kind of art piece, I usually end up recreating the same shape from scratch in OpenSCAD.

This but FreeCAD!
