Are there any good alternatives to Cricket Graph?

I find that Cricket Graph (v 1.3 and previous) is unusually buggy (lots
of "quit unexpectedly's", misplotting best fit lines, saving my files
in the wrong format when I clearly specify to save in Cricket Graph
format, locking up (no input is possible) after opening an existing
graph....ET CETERA!) And it always seems to be saying, "Can't Undo!"
as if only to irritate me more.

Is there another graphing program available that can do the sorts of
things that Cricket Graph is supposed to do?  I use CG mostly to
produce scatter plots and fit straight lines to them.  But it would be
nice to be able to make 3D graphs and also to do more sophisticated
curve fitting and error analysis.  Color is important.  Any suggestions?
