I've tried the Golden Eagle software that is free from CSC DUATS, and
the AOPA flight planner and maybe one other, but I typically keep coming
back to the simple flight planner in CSC DUATS. It doesn't show you
SUA, terrain, overlaid weather, etc., but it is fast and simple and I
like the print-out format the best of any of them.

Likewise. I found the quality of Golden Eagle to be laughable, or at least I was
able to quickly crash it a couple of time in the first 10 minutes of use, before
I uninstalled it. The AOPA flight planner annoys me with its click and drag
routing and absence of text-based routing. I always fall back to CSC DUATS. Fast
and painless.
