CGMiner is a ASIC, GPU, and FPGA miner that is maintained as an open-source product and works on platforms including Windows, Linux, and macOS. CGMiner is extremely flexible platform-wise, and can work with a variety of hardware miners, and GPUs, including the CUDA and NVIDIA platforms. There is, however, a lot to improve. It is also very easy to debug algorithms and miners at the very beginning through CGMiners very helpful logging and debugging tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CGMiner is a purely command-line tool. When there are a lot of features and settings to control, the purely command-line interface can make it very hard to control the behavior of CGMiner. There are a variety of GUI tools (also maintained as open-source), that help with this, but many of them do not interface well with the actual binaries of CGMiner.

This open source miner is actively maintained when compiled from the nightly release repository. There are multiple forks available that provide various support for your miner. I find that this is provides stable performance with decent hash rates. There are miners that have higher hash output but that is largely closed source and offset by developer fees.
