LinuxQuestions.org has released it’s list of Members Choice Award Winners. The list is not surprising, and includes:

A list of winners follows, with the percentage of the votes in parenthesis. Distribution of the Year – Ubuntu (19.49%) Database of the Year – MySQL (62.98%) Office Suite of the Year – OpenOffice.org (84.84%) Browser of the Year – Firefox (71.90%) Mail Client of the Year – Thunderbird (51.74%)

Out of the list, I use quite a few of the top-voted apps, including the top-rated distribution (Ubuntu), MySQL, OpenOffice.org, Firefox, vim, amarok and gaim. There’s a reason why so many others use these apps; they are well-written, and perform their functions very well.
