Well, I haven't purchased anything from them lately, but about six
months ago I needed some advice on a Basic project and ordered 
Crescent's demo disk. It had some really neat stuff on it... Additionally,
Ethan Winer (from Crescent) and Mark Novisoff (of MicroHelp) are 
frequently found in discussions on Compuserv, and are very helpful. 
In fact, Ethan even wrote some code for me once, in response to a 
how-do-you-do-this question that wasn't trivial. They both seem like
good guys, running nice companies.

The general impression I got was a preference for Crescent's products,
but I'm no expert.  The CS people seemed to think highly of both 
companies.
