Version 2013 is very good
Been using this since 7.0 and 2013 is lightyears ahead of that.
Just like with any software, there's good and bad. I'll go thru both.
Good.
1. Huge amount of indicators and prebuilt systems (And I mean a lot).
2. Almost everything is configurable.
3. A good number of plugins (some are great, some are not).
4. Easy to get signals from whatever you trade (any kind of crossover, divergence, volume, etc).
5. Good value on software and data
6. Fantastic market scanners. They can do anything, and there's dozens prebuilt.
7. Great support. I've never had a problem that wasn't addressed the same day by forum or phone. Email was slower in response (to be honest).
8. Made in the USA. It's important to me that someone's kid is eating tonight because I bought American.
Bad
1. Not 64bit native
2. Standard canned signals can be misleading (just like any trading software). You must choose wisely (there's tons to choose from).
3. Not as robust a datafeed as the high dollar providers (but for the money it's very good). You can use an Esignal or IQfeed stream besides the Omnidata package offered by the company.
4. Sometimes the program needs a restart. If it was 64bit, I think that wouldn't ever be a problem.
5. No third party plugins.
Dollar for dollar, this is the best trading program (IMO). It has a lot going for it right out of the box, and the amount of good plugins keeps growning.
If you know what you're doing, and how you want to trade, this program is the icing on the cake. It can do almost anything you want, if you are willing to learn how to do it.
Simple if you want it to be, and very deep if you have time.
