I was holding out hope for a VST version of the QuadCurve EQ, but ultimately ran out of patience and ended up getting FabFilter Pro Q-2.  It's pretty spendy, but tons of cool features make it a pretty nice bang for your buck in my opinion.

Quadcurve without the zoom is ..meh. An alternative to the excellent but pricey Pro-Q is Meldaproductions MDynamic EQ or the MAutodynamic EQ. Matches Pro-Q feature for feature at a lower price. Both are on sale for 50% off often. If you pick up the free bundle, demos for other Melda products now come with installer.

+1 for ToneBoosters

Fabfilter is my go to EQ. More or less the only one I use.
Sounds great and the user interface makes sense.
Costs more that you might want to pay, but it is really good. Goes on sale from time to time.
 
 
 

I also love ProQ2. Been ages since I've used another EQ.
