For me, seeing sites rely purely on apache log genetated stats is like going back to 1997. I need ecommerce / adword / emailing conversion tracking and all the other golden goodies google analytics provides. I am also a google analytics convert.

I especially like the fact that it ignores bots. With AWStats for instance, you can easily get 100x higher traffic than it really is. About 2 months ago I was about to buy a site which claimed to have approximately 100 daily visits. After telling the owner to install G Analytics there and after seeing the real statistics, I gave up that deal :) .
