Apophysis
David April wrote to recommend another good fractal program. Apophysis (for windows only, sadly).
It’s an IFS fractal program capable of some gorgeous organic looking results. I first encountered IFS fractals in Michael Barnsley’s book Fractals Everywhere. Wikipedia says they were first developed by John Hutchison.
Apophysis is scriptable, which means it is capable of doing some very cool stuff, only hinted at in the presets.

I have been using Apophysis for a year but am too lazy to figure out its full potential, but I seend and even made some renders that look very very nice. I still prefer ultrafractal though.
