Well, I don't like it, but it's more a matter of personal taste than 
anything else.  One major reason is that the gadget hitbox for a button
that you draw a border around isn't quite as big as the border, so there
are these one-pixel gaps between the highlighted box and the border when
it's selected.  You can always recognize an interface made with power
windows by looking for these gaps.  Also, the source code it generates is
nowhere near customizable enough for me, and I refuse to adopt someone
else's coding style because of limitations of my tools.

The only thing I've used it for is turning brushes into Images, and even
then I had to edit the source code heavily.
