I've always ignored it on the assumption that you had to buy it, which I've no interest in doing since I have other adequate compilers already. I might take a look sometime.

I doubt that anyone on this list is using it, otherwise surely they would have commented on the problems that you've found by now, but who knows whether anyone else is using it?
