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.

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.
I agree. Anyone who hasn't tried gnumeric yet should give it a try. It knocks the socks off open office and kspread. One example, try saving a large spreadsheet to sparse html format, then do the same using open office spreadsheet. Then try browsing to the html files. gnumerics will load in seconds, open office takes minutes! gnumeric also has the best import from excel filters I've seen in any open source application, and it has 99% of the features I used in excel. I can't wait for gnumeric2 to come out!
