I'm often accused of hating all software. I really do hate a lot of it. Some I hate less than others, but overall software fails to deliver the goods for the most part.

There are however, a few bits of software that I don't hate. In fact I love them. So here's my very short list.

1. PostgreSQL. This is undoubtedly the only software of this scale that has never disappointed me.
2. Mochikit. Not really a large impressive project, but interesting in that not only does it not suck, it doesn't suck so much that it makes certain other software (JavaScript) suck less. That's quite an accomplishment.

I'll surely revisit this page to add others as it strikes me.

Oh, and for those who know me and wonder why Linux, Python, TurboGears and Twisted didn't make the list, here's a summary:

1. Linux. It has suckage all over. Luckily they keep moving it so it doesn't get too annoying.
2. Python. It differentates between statements and expressions. 'Nuff said.
3. TurboGears. Built on a threaded web server (CherryPy). Likes Kid too much.
4. Twisted. Awesome software, but how the fuck is a mortal supposed to use this stuff without good examples and documentation? I can't use it so it sucks.
