I use it for lots of stuff, but I have to say, at least the Mac version gets unusably slow in some situations - not even highly complex ones (large hi dpi imported bitmap graphics, etc). But is it good? Hell yeah. Learn the keys and the quirks its like the vi of vector graphics - your fingers can dance on the keyboard and work at twice the pace you get from mouse driven point and click type workflow. You will note nearly all the "complainers" are people saying "I tried it for 5 minutes and gave up because of X" - if that's you then, yeah. But you probably wouldnt like vi either.
