Well, valgrind is a very nice and useful tool. (I know becuase I'm also using
it extensively) However, I think that perhaps GNU Arch deserves to win
because:
1. It's also supposed to be very nice.
2. Its main developer (Tom Lord) is desperately in need of cash, as he is
currently unemployed. (or at least was the last time I checked).
This is despite the fact that I'm actually using Subversion where I can, and
CVS where I must. Of course, Subversion was not nominated, and it has no
problem of funds, because a large part of its development is sponsored by
Collab-Net. (and it otherwise has plenty of volunteers who don't need to be
supported).
