Yeah, I used it at my last job pretty extensively... but at least I was programming an interface with it and I didn't have to use its front end... god, that's in the running for the WORST SOFTWARE EVER. But the database itself isn't too bad: self contained, readily available, and easy to program for. But it's only usefully on small projects cuz it's slow and not scaleable.
