So, what’s everyone using to manage their collections? Text files, spreadsheets, or what? I’ve been using GamEye for a few years, and love it.

CLZ Games but I got it before it went subscription.
Although it’s generally used for roms and such, I include my hard copy games in my Lunchbox database. You can manually enter in things and pull meta data that way, which I prefer since I keep a lot of manuals, boxes and stuff in cold storage and aren’t about to pull it out.
Plus at the end it the day, they’re just xml files.

I personally use VGCollect. I also keep a spreadsheet of all my physical media.
2 systems, putting the games on my shelf with their boxes (disc games and DS games), and for cartridges games, putting their labels out, or using 3D printed stands to show the cartridge art.
Price Charting and a text file for game items that PC doesn’t track. I don’t really like any of the available options, though, so I’m very slowly building my own system from scratch to track all my stuff properly. (Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently interrupting my progress on that.)
