I also still use Winamp just for Milkdrop. Music visualizers never improved from there; new ones are usually overpriced and/or locked down, lacking in presets, or totally unsupported. Everything else Winamp did has been done better since by foobar2000 and MusicBee, but I still think it has a particular aesthetic appeal, as you see in the skin museum and modern references to it like Tunebox in Hypnospace Outlaw.
IMO KataFX and KataFX 2.0 were the gold standard of visualizers but the author got sick of his visualizers being used at huge raves all over the world and not getting a penny so he pulled them offline. Maybe a bit immature of a reaction but hey, it was his hard work.
