Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y 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.

Although I must add Gnumeric should have made that list on its own merits. Anyone who has used it will attest to the fact that i is just about the most feature complete OSS application ever made. It has features rivalling MS Excel, and add quite a few of it own to the mix. It is really amazing.

Gnumeric is in my opinion the single best example of open source programming at its finest. It practically beats Excel at the spreadsheet game. The only thing missing would be intergration with a suite.
