Personally I like it - but it IS limiting. However it's nice: once you've hit those limits you know that your project has outgrown it. ;^) In my experience it's great for getting the initial ideas across, but once that's done you need to leave it behind.

RE: Storyboard Tool
Some agile folks think that first-cut screen design should be done on a whiteboard, using stickies for interface objects. Really easy, for anyone including non-technical participants, really quick, easy to change, easy to move around. They also say to take a picture of it when you're done this iteration, but the last time I tried something similar (but large, covering a biggish section of a wall), the resolution of the camera wasn't good enough to capture needed details. That was a long time ago though, and digital camera tech has come a long way since. Dave Merrill ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Storyboard Tool
In the Windows Application (?) section, Visio has text fields, radio buttons and other form-field-related elements. I like building quick screen layouts using this tool. Other than that, I have used Fireworks to layout a page flow. FW's frames and shared layers make it pretty easy to keep a common theme, but still allow for different elements on each "page". But, you can't beat a whiteboard. Especially, if the whiteboard has some sort of digital capability.
