Owl_'s dictionary is nice for overall word coverage (note that CIDE is partly based on Webster's 1913), but the pure Webster one I converted includes everything from the original Webster's dictionary (e.g. etymology, examples, archaic forms of words) as-is, which I find helpful when reading older books or fantasy. It's good to have both.
