I bought this about 2 months ago.  It sure seems to have some nice features.
Text-effects and all.  Lots of fun to "play with".

Then I tried to use it to do some important work.  I didn't think I was
pushing the program in any way, but after about 1/2 hr, it just crashed and
burnt on me.  I was "Save"-ing my work as I proceeded, so I thought I
could just continue with the last saved version.  Problem was that the
saved file would kill the program, too.  So my efforts were destroyed
entirely.

I literally haven't touched the program since...
