Fish in a Barrel

I'm curious to know what you guys think of the PC software (if any) that is available for your dive computer.
I have a Mares dive computer, and I paid for the PC link and Drak software. As a PC logbook, I think it does a very good job of letting me download, annotate, and view my dives. Unfortunately, it is riddled with minor and not-so minor bugs that often make it frustrating to use. For instance, it calculates my SACR for me, but fails to convert it to Imperial units before displaying the result. This leads to logging impossibilities such as hour-long dives on a single AL80 tank where I was sucking down air at "14 cu.ft/min". It also sometimes loses information I enter manually, and likes to record my ending air pressure as zero.
I created support tickets for some of the more egregious bugs, but it's been over a year now with no updates to the software.
