I love how powerful it is for my needs as both editor & Colorist at this time in our industry (film). It has everything needed to complete any job that comes through our door - including audio post production which we do not service ourselves anymore since joining up w/Da Vinci last year. The UI could be better but once your used to its quirks then they become second nature after using them long enough :) As of right know there are no downsides really other than needing more RAM if working large projects or rendering times take longer than expected depending upon project size / complexity etc. We have been able solve most problems via their support team who respond quickly whenever issues arise regardless of where around globe people may work remotely.
