Walter Snodgrass,
As a long-time visitor to this site, I've learned that, unfortunately, the voting system holds almost no value whatsoever (at least in the way that it's currently implemented). Sometimes inferior software gets dramatically voted up, one might assume by the publisher themselves, or by parties who are colluding with them. Sometimes pretty decent software gets voted down, usually by individuals who haven't even bothered to download it; it's simply because they don't like the "type" of software on offer that particular day. I've seen, on multiple occasions, a flurry of a dozen votes (up or down) or more come in within a half hour of a new title being posted, where it's not really conceivable that an individual would have had sufficient time to download, install, register, and actually use the program before being qualified to post a vote.

So... I wouldn't be quick to draw any conclusions solely from the votes. The best thing to do would be to download and try it out the GOTD yourself, if you think the day's offering might hold some utility for you.

Otherwise, you can take a look around the web for third party reviews, if any exist, or simply wait for the reviews to roll in over here. There are quite a few smart, trustworthy reviewers who frequent this site and post informative write-ups after they take the time to install and substantially play with the program on offer.
