I got the Osprey Nebula 32 L this year, and after a successful one-bag holiday in Vancouver it's more than proven itself to me. Just enough compartments to stay organized, but not so many that it's overwhelming or that it cuts into usable capacity.

I'm not a full on one-bagger as I tend to have a bag and a personal item. I still love my Timbuktu Co-Pilot small - fits on every flight except occasionally Icelandair and those skateboard wheels have been fine on everything but loose sand.
I currently alternate between a Fjällräven Ulvö hippack large/4l (I'd like to try a medium) and an Ikea Värld 16l depending on if I need to carry a laptop.
Recently for edc I like the bellroy lite sling 4L or the venture sling 2.5l. But if one bag then I can’t go past the comfort of the able carry max although I really wish it were lighter
I started with a Nomatic travel backpack, got a Farpoint and now I am rocking a Synik 22L.
Nomatic: bells and whistles, but nothing else.
Farpoint: too large for EDC, but a great bag.
Synik: amazing bag, but I am maybe thinking it is too small for my needs.
I'd love to be able to get my belongings down to the ~20L range! I'm currently at 40L and trying to figure out what I can cut. Having two laptops doesn't help…
Im not that extreme as a few of us in here are, but I would start out by throwing away the thought of having different outfits for different days. Also thinking about washing t-shirts/underwear in the sink greatly reduce the amount of pieces of clothing you have to pack. Another thing is layering. You just need a hardshlell jacket , even for winter, its just about being able to build up warmth with the underlying layers. For example; you could use the same thick sweater for the restaurant, as well as an undergarment. Two laptops comes with a lot of weight, but what is good, is that they are flat.
The Evergoods MHP 3.5L has quickly become my go-to everyday bag. I choose it because I like my pockets empty, prefer hip packs and wanted it to fit a water bottle and something extra to wear. I haven’t had the bag for very long, but so far it does not disappoint. Well made and I like most of the design choices they made. It’s very comfortable to carry, for me.
Jansport “Right Pack.” Just the right size for my packing list. No extra straps or belts. No internal organization. Rain flaps over the zippers. Clean and simple and unremarkable.
