It's a program that works. It's intuitive, and easy interface takes little time to get used to, and has industry level features.

However, compared to other Adobe products - like Premiere or After Effects - it seems a little underdeveloped and riddled with annoyances. Do not leave authoring your DVD until the last minute - lest you have 2 days worth of all-nighter headaches trying to get your DVD to work on this.
