We use it too, but as a new user, I have not been particularly thrilled. The
documentation is pretty good, except when it comes to errors, and I have had

Just make sure you check in frequently, and keep backups. I've had to revert
to the backups on a couple of occasions because (being new) I could not
figure out where an error was, let alone how to fix it (..end of file??!!).
