I've actually been using Coffee Cup for about a year now on Foxtrot's site. Here's a sample of their nifty form builder product at work. It doesn't take long to get working, and it does work. I've also purchased the RSS news program, though it stopped working on our site due to a change to a PHP setting at our host (working on that!). Their whole philosophy is so simple: 1) sell decent software cheaply ($20-30 for most titles), 2) provide prompt e-mail support, and 3) never require customers to pay for an upgrade of a product they've already purchased. When you buy the product, you get access to a download site where they control which programs your login is able to retrieve, but you're always able to retrieve the latest of the ones you've purchased.
37signals is a site I'm still exploring. I've delved a little into basecamp, the online project management and collaboration site, as well as backpack, a nifty little online organizer. Ever wanted a quick web whiteboard to communicate something to a person in another location? How about 37signals' writeboard? Now that's providing value!! They've also got a book out, and some blogs that I'll probably subscribe to.
Chime in if there are sites that you find interesting . . .
