I'm pretty amazing at the Humble Bundle (DRM-free) and Steam selections for Linux; not just independent titles but some larger ones too. We've come a long way since Loki ports.
Keep in mind that some of them are using libwine ;)
What is it used for?

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Cool. I have to admit I haven't thought about Wine in a while because I can't think of any software I use that doesn't have a Linux version. What are people's use-cases nowadays?
Tag&Rename [1], a still maintained Windows-only shareware excellent at tagging music. Occasional use, Linux equivalents suck in various ways, it's perfectly configured to my needs, and works perfectly in Wine so why change it :) [1] http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm EDIT: thanks for the Linux alternative suggestions everyone! I have (had) mostly the same complaints about ExFalso / Puddletag / EasyTAG as the ones I po…

Back before the demise of what.cd, I used Wine for Exact Audio Copy. As far as I know, there was still no "approved" cd ripper that would run natively on Linux.
What do you mean by "approved"? I've used cdparanoia for years, and abcde is quite a nice frontend for it.

Unless you run Debian stable (or probably any LTS distro), in which case they don't want your reports because "your software is too out of date". I find this attitude odd, because there are (at least) tens of thousands of wine installs under Debian alone. Surely the information is relevant and useful to people, even if the version is no longer officially supported. As a result, I've stopped wasting my time filing rep…
Debian stable's Wine is often fairly old. I wish there was an easier way to get a newer Wine on stable. They're rejecting your reports because the issues are often fixed in newer versions - someone would have to re-confirm your reports on a newer version.
The biggest commercial contributor to Wine is CodeWeavers: https://www.codeweavers.com/ Fantastic and very sympathetic small company which offers a next-next-finish installation of Wine. Excellent if you run a Linux desktop in a corporate environment that expects the ability to run Windows stuff.
Office 2010 and with the latest version Office 2013 work flawlessly with Crossover on Linux (and Mac): https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Office_2013_and_2010_on_Linux... The support of codeweavers is very good and fast as well, the two times I had to contact them. The bottle system is amazing. It allows you to have multiple wine environments with different Windows versions seperated, so not just one Wine for all. Office…

What is the big difference comparing with PlayOnLinux?
They then turn the code over to WINE downstream. So when you help CrossOver you financially help WINE and a person who will help you with your problem within 24 hours. Also CrossOver gives you their bottle system and a great website to get your stuff working.
