I'm with you. Orbiter's the best free program out there. AGI.com's STK software suite is the only commercial orbital navigation planning software I know of. A lot of defence contractors use it, as well as DoD, NASA and the AirForce. It's also used for Geospatial Intelligence and Space Battle Management.
