I agree. I have used a lot of analytical packages and I have found that Urchin is far and away the best.
However, the reason Urchin was not (until now) as well-known as it should be is due to its cost, which is a little prohibitive for the average mom & pop website business.
Indeed, my own experience of using Urchin comes largely from using version 4, which is bundled as part of hosting with some vendors.
I hope Google reduces the cost.
I wouldn't be surprised either to see Google introducing a souped-up, XSLT-based interface.
I agree... but to be fair to Yahoo, it has improved its webmail interface since Gmail's launch. For example, it now uses predictive addresses, which was a really good feature of Gmail. But Yahoo still has a ways to go.
