It looks and works much better than previous versions, and now stays resident in your menu bar to let you know as soon as software's been updated.
The desktop app was recently upgraded with a major overhaul. The app scans your Mac and finds software that needs to be updated, making it easy for you to keep your Mac up to date continuously. MacUpdate Desktop is a desktop companion application for the service. The web site tracks over 40,000 applications, and provides helpful info like user ratings and details on paid versus free upgrades and more. It's an excellent companion to using Software Update. I've used MacUpdate for years to keep the apps and other software on my Mac up to date.
