Not that great? Boy, did that put a smile on my face. I had the misfortune of working with it for a couple of months. It was so horrible to work with -- mainly half hour build times, although the bugginess came close -- that I left the consulting project. And the client was Motorola, which at least at the time was about the highest profile client you could have in the Chicago area. It was excruciating.
