Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Prefpane style app
AppTrap installs a daemon that runs in the background monitoring the trash, when you drag an app to the trash it will search for associated .plist files that have been left behind and ask to move them to the trash. In other words, AppTrap launches and does the work for you automatically. All you have to do is uninstall apps the old fashioned mac way by dragging apps to the trash.

It's like mpv, just more user friendly GUI and more settings available via UI.

Tip: if you're doing a lot of cropping and slicing of videos and you thought the new quick tools in Finder / Quicktime Player are a great improvement, try setting up IINA with slicing.lua and some keybindings for navigating your video + setting the slicing positions.
Make sure your ffmpeg command (in slicing.lua) is set to copy the original codecs and that it's using your GPU.

Pro Fully customizable keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and gesture controls
Pro Open source
Pro Powered by FFmpeg

This is thorough enough in cleaning up most of the cruft that gets left behind by applications, but might not get everything for the more invasive applications, especially if some of the files have privileged permissions.
Con Requires using Finder
Does not work if you trash app using alternate file browser like Path Finder.
Con Unstable
May crash unexpectedly, while clicking on something in the subtitles section in the right-hand panel, for example.
Con Blacks out other displays when going full screen
