If you take the time to read about individual programs you can find the most popular uses for them......search and read...don't spoonfeed.
I don't see a problem with suggesting programs that are useful because they simplify things. For example, srdshelly has already mentioned ANA for searching *A awards. Similarly, I'm ST E+ through DL, but I (along with a lot of the top posters in the DL forum here) have Flying Blue accounts. I've no intention of crediting a flight to FlyingBlue (unless I fly someone that's a FB partner and not a DL partner, I guess), but their award search engine is light years better than DL's.
