There's Gpredict http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/download.php
As with all code - the best code is written by the user, especially with something like satellite tracking where the theory and UI challenge is quite demanding. There are many who can talk long and loud, but how many have actually written working tracking software?
(I'm not getting at Dominic here.)

Neither of those mentioned so far are Open Source, but I'd love to know too - Mike, which ones are you using?

That's what I'm using. I tried them all, and ended up with Gpredict as my personal favorite. It was however not based on the pure fact that it was open source but simply that it fits my working style best. The fact that it's code is open and I can contribute to it, is a big benefit.

Not that many because it's like you said not an easy thing to do but also it's not something where you can address a huge user base.
