It's easy to use and it has many options that can be used in a wide variety of applications. There are also many free trial versions available online which gives you a good idea about its capabilities before purchasing. The interface is very simple and there are not much features to dislike. You will feel right at home with this software and won't have any problems while using it. I personally used it for creating graphs for my research work. The benefit was that it gave me the flexibility to create graphs without having to rely on expensive graphics programs like Corel Draw or InDesign.
