Probably most widely used (and hated): SDL Studio

Many agencies want you to have SDL Studio, but are not really aware just how buggy and overly complicated the program is (as they have never used it themselves). However, with a little knowledge of CAT tools it is very easy to use a better CAT tool (like CafeTran or Déjà Vu X3) behind the scenes, while still processing your agency client's Studio packages/files. Pretty much 1 out of 3 times I use Studio, something or other goes wrong and I end up wasting my time, and thus losing money.
If you don't work for agencies it's even clearer: avoid Studio (and memoQ), and use sth better.
