I've been using FilterForge since version 1, and eventually bought a lifetime license, so I get a new version whenever it comes out at no extra cost. It's not inexpensive that way, but since I had been upgrading every year for 5 years, and figured I'd be doing so for another 5 years at least, it seemed appropriate for my use.

I haven't been using it as often lately, mostly because I do a lot of beta testing, so not as much time doing my own projects, but as hborre said, the amount of fabulous filters they have in their Library is amazing. I don't think I've ever "not" found something I could use, and they're editable if you want to tweak them for your own use. That takes some practice with it, but I don't remember ever being disappointed.
