I've got a Saleae clone and use it with Sigrok, it works pretty well so
far.

Simple to extend with extra decoders so I can see I2C transactions with
start, stop, ack, nack and then decode the contents of the I2C data
transactions down to chip level (in my case, I needed to debug some code
for a Dallas RTC which it did admirably)

For the pittance it cost I'd have felt very bad using Saleae's software and
Sigrok seems to have met my needs so far.
