We have it. We have used it for about six months and find the functions simple and effective. The engine though is slow. We use it mostly for prototyping programs then converting to our other engine. If you familiar with Basic it will be very easy for you. You can make some decent programs with it just be prepared to get frustrated with some of the limitations. The company is addressing the speed issue I think early next year. It is just a DX wrapper that makes calls to the DX command set. So it interpets instead of actually compiling.

I haven't used it so I don't have much of an opinion.  Right now I'm concentrating on Direct X.  But if you would care to try it I would like to hear your opinion of it.
