I bought a personal copy and recommended it to my team. We're currently looking into using it to create some generic widget templates that can be used as inputs to a widget-making web application I'm going to put together. (The general plan is to enable our internal customers to create their own quizzes, interactive training, etc. by filling in some HTML forms, while ensuring that branding and so on remains consistent.) My opinion is that Hype is great at what it does, which is allow you to create simple animations. It doesn't have anywhere near the number of features as Flash, but maybe that's a good thing. If you're comfortable with JavaScript and/or you're happy to take Hype's output and manipulate it further then I think you'll be delighted. And for $30 I really feel like I am stealing from them! (Maybe this public advocacy will go some way to restoring the balance.)
