Absolutely, some points:

- You can nicely integrate it in your VFP applications.
- Preview: 25 - 400 % zoom.
- Make your own toolbar for navigating your preview
- Export to Word, Excell, RTF, HTML, and others
- Make modeless previews
- Reports in Reports (subreports)
- Much control over formatting.
- In version 8, you even can make your own reportwriter.


Less good points:
- Cannot report on general fields (like pictures)
- Does not support VFP tables natively: use FOX2X tables (prefferable) or ODBC.
