Thursday here, a slow evening. Time for a new poll. This poll might require you to think a bit extra: it asks you to vote not for your favorite application, but which OSS application, in your opinion, has achieved high standards, performance, features and ease of use when compared to the best of breed of the closed source world. Read more for more explanation and voting.

I chose Eclipse, because having tried several IDEs, it really is my favorite.
I came close to putting GCC, but I couldn't think of any really commercial competition. Most proprietary compilers have some defining feature that sets them apart, and justifies their existance apart from GCC.
Sorry to say that Mozilla didn't even have a chance. Waaaaaaay too much bloat. Firebird is a step in the right direction. I wish it luck.
Apache is good too. Probably would have been my second choice. I just really love Eclipse.
