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 have to try Eclipse ... it look like the very first IDE that may replace the good ol' MS Visual Studio in my heart :-)
As for GCC, it would be a good choice to vote for, except for one thing that annoye me : the lack of cool and modern C++ extensions like "properties" and "closure pointers" (both greatly supported by Borland & Microsoft).
All in all I voted Apache. I never used it, but it seems to be the only OSS software not only in par with commercial equivalents, but maybe even better. Two thumbs up.
