Is there any pool about the popularity of Software for the MSX !?

I like some FREEWARE and useful software from partial lists.
Is there any good list about FREEWARE and Public Domain soft?

Commercial software is good if someone could afford the buy. Supporting the MSX community would be great appreciated.

There could be controversy about the correct use of some terms, even if someone managed to register them!

MSX-BASIC and MSX-DOS are the only titles known to all MSX users.
I can name brilliant titles like TOR, DBG, Disk Fixer, ND System that were widely used in ex-USSR and were known to almost everyone there, but hardly known, if at all, outside ex-USSR. So, any poll about software will be a function of voters from this or that region.

If you search MSX development kind of software, you can find my top 5 by visiting "MSX tools" section of my homepage. (msx.fi/nyyrikki)

SymbOS

Age 5 (Dot Designer's club) by T&E Soft and Moonblaster 1.4 for FM-pac / Music module. If it weren't for these 2 programs I would have quit the MSX scene years ago.

Only MoonBlaster in all its shapes... No other program gets airtime here...
