I disagree. DEC Ada was probably the best Ada 83 compiler and Apex the best for Ada 95. I used Apex versions 2/3/4 for several years on a Sun Solaris host and liked it very much. But having used GNAT Pro with GPS, gprbuild and gpr files since then, I would not want to go back to Apex.

Here I agree very much. Regarding good, ClearCase was/is the best software configuration tool but it is rapidly losing market share due to IBM (where good software gets acquired and dies).
