Excellent Time Owned: more than 12 months.
As a beta tester for TRX-Manager and friend of Laurent's I am definitely prejudiced!
TRX does a great job of controlling most Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood and other rigs. It is quick, adds extra functionality to your rig and has features for SWLing as well. A map centered on your QTH with the latest DX from a DX cluster allows you to click on the spot on the map and your rig is there in the right mode - including 'split' if the spotter stated that! A quick 'click' logs the QSO and you are ready for the next one. QSL label printing is included as is the latest feature - remote control via Telnet - allows you to run your rig from the office. All-in-all a great program with excellent support.

TRX-Manager is OUTSTANDING!!!! Time Owned: unknown months.
When I was looking for an effective and affordable (under $60) logging program to replace my old LOG WINDOWS (which never was any good for recording grid squares at all), I looked at lots of logging programs. I am SO PLEASED to have found this wonderful program!! Being a serious VHFer, I was very interested in choosing a program that would calculate distances and accurate beam headings (which requires all 6 characters of the station's grid locator) to stations I heard. This program not only does that, it has RIG CONTROL! The means, it automatically enters in the frequency, mode, band and other information into the logbook! What a pleasure for working those lightning fast 6m openings! BUT THERE IS MORE!!! It also sends automatic CW messages, and/or repeats them! AND it can send out a PTT control signal IN ADVANCE of the message, to automatically switch the station into transmit. This allows time to switch on amplifier, switch out preamplifier, changeover antenna relays, etc. BEFORE the CW message begins keying. This is the ONLY program I have found that does this type of correct station sequencing and allows CW to be automatically sent in "beacon mode" with more than a simple transceiver involved. AND it permits an interface with the EXCELLENT VKE VOICE KEYER EXPRESS, so any voice messages can be automatically sent by the same serial cable from your computer. This is especially important if you are using a laptop (like me) and only have one serial cable! So, the logging, automatic rig control and log entry, CW looping and voice keyer can all be in use and connected together WITH A SINGLE SERIAL PORT!! And of course it does lot of other things such as interfacing with DX spots on the internet, or packet clusters, etc., etc. etc. And the logbook is in Microsoft ACCESS format, so it is easy to generate your own reports for just about anything! I don't know what I would do without it!!! Full info is at http://www.trx-manager.com/
