1.  Chessmaster has the "Human description of analysis" that is nicely done
2.  SCID has a very nice "opening report" generator
3.  Arena has an excellent tournament manager and engine configuration
4.  Winboard has the best online connection manager (what nitwit could not
figure it out?)
5.  ChessBase has a good Elo recalculation feature
6.  ChessAssistant can READ AND WRITE EPD records and you can run all sorts of
engines inside of it (MCS, ChessAssistant, Winboard, UCI and others)
7.  ChessGenius (my least favorite interface) has floating windows where every
piece can be moved around and sized how you want it separately.

More?

What are your favorite features of chess GUIs that are fairly unique to one or
two GUIs and that ought to be found in all of them?
