Rome is a lightweight tool to do some of the kinds of things that Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash Pro, and Fireworks do. It's nicely done for the most part, but certainly won't satisfy a professional designer, and doesn't seem to completely close the loop on what a non-designer would want.
For example, I was able to create an "animation" but couldn't figure out how to actually animate anything. I get that I could RTFM, but really in the Web 2.0 age it should be obvious how to perform the main function of a UI.
Then I generated a business card, which was easy, but there's no way to order a box of those cards from a commercial printer right in the tool. So they miss out on a huge opportunity to create a seamless web-to-print application.
Rome is pretty, but not revolutionary.
