I'll stick with the "second stream" developers as they seem more committed to their products than Microsoft has ever been.
For example I switched completly to Trillian (all in one instant messenger) and have never looked back. Or an even better example is Open Office 2.0. Sure you lose some of that functionality you've become accustomed to, but change is the name of the game.
