The extended tight binding (xTB) family of methods opened many new possibilities in the field of computational chemistry. Within just five years, the GFN2-xTB parametrization for all elements up to Z=86 enabled more than a thousand applications, which were previously not feasible with other electronic structure methods. The xTB methods provide a robust and efficient way to apply quantum mechanics based approaches for obtaining molecular and solid state geometries, computing free energy corrections or describing non-covalent interactions and found applicability for many more targets. A crucial contribution to the success of the xTB methods is the availability within many simulation packages and frameworks, supported by the open source development of its program library and packages. We present a comprehensive summary of the applications and capabilities of xTB methods in different fields of chemistry. Moreover, we consider the main software packages for xTB calculations, covering their current ecosystem, novel features and usage by the scientific community.
