I have some bias to OntoEdit (primary) and Protege.

I tried to use OntoEdit
The last version I used was 2.0
The first it could very hardly load dAML ontology not generated by itself.
Finally, I managed   to load, but is costed much time. I do now remeber what
exactly was the reason, but the ontology was correct DAML + OIL ontology
It has excellent suport for documentetation (multiple string can be for one
enity on different languages) and multilanguage definitions
It has support for disjoints. Protege does not, OntoEdit does
For relations (properties) there are only definition of domain and range
allowed, cardinality and ID, length.
Declaration of transitive, inverse, symmetric properties supported
"Not" statements are not supported.
It is impossible to build filter for slots, what rather important for me.
Not integration with reasoning engine
