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 don't know... I'm not sure I like the phrasing of the question. Yes, some OS apps have some work ahead to match the dominant closed-source app that most closely matches in functionality... but the question sounds like it assumes that ALL OSS apps have a gap between them and catching up to closed source. Quite a few of those apps (including the one that I voted for, Apache) simply ANNIHILATE their closed source counterparts.
