I used to use VT a lot, but for technical reasons I switched to MU. They both have a lot going for them, but I stay with MU because of its cleaner, less complicated design.

I don’t want this comment thread to get out of control, but I want to point out a couple of things:

1 – the web site that Peter links to accuses the proprietor of MacUpdate of “censoring anti-Bush and anti-Jesus software.” I do not condone censorship… I am just not sure how many people are thirsting for software of that category.

2 – All of the links Peter refers to at the bottom of the page he links to are on the same site as his original link; they are all articles by either the same author or authors.

It seems to me that the “big deal” is that a website accuses MacUpdate of not listing software they think it should and other sundry wrongdoing. If you don’t approve, don’t visit the site or use the software I wrote about. I happen to love the application and find it useful. YMMV.

Now, please, let’s not discuss this further.

Not everyone is so enthusiastic about MacUpdate.
