I nominate, xfig for creating the best PS files.  My spooler program has the ability
to set the matrices for landscape, portrait and 2-up printing for each request it
processes.  Xfig is the ONLY application I have come across that generates a PS
file that works in each orientation, no matter how complex the page.

I wouldn't have a problem with other applications that don't conform to the DSC, but
I wish they wouldn't put '%!PS-Adobe' at the beginning of the file, as if they were.
