OfficeTime
Easy and natural to set up and use.
Pros: I've used similar programs so the expected functionality was all present and easily configured for my work. Best unexpected feature: when I'd been proofing for some time, the program asked, "You've not touched the keyboard for 17 minutes. Should this time be deducted from your billable hours?" or words to that effect. It took me a couple of passes to get the invoicing the way I wanted, but since I barely glanced at the help files, not bad at all. Well worth paying for.
OfficeTime
Best organizational tool for creatives
Pros: It's an extremely simple time keeping tool. Nothing fancy or confusing, it keeps track of time spent and organizes the information by job and project. Very simple, and perfect for a creative when all you want to do is just work and not muck about with learning new business software. With this tool, I was able to see clearly that I could quit my horrible day job and go freelance.
Cons: I'd like the ability to time stamp in the notes section, but they tell me that's coming.
