What is your favourite statistical software (e.g. SPSS, Mplus, Stata, etc) and what unique application it offers that is not available elsewhere?

I do like both SPSS and Mplus, however these are only two statistical "tools" I am familiar with. Please share your experience about those two and other software you feel comfortable with. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
