I've been using it since version 2. It was very buggy in the earlier 
versions, and I've chosen mp because of my familiarity with Delphi and 
because I'm a software engineer instead of an EE. After using delphi, java 
and c# I avoid at all costs having to return to asm (although I had to a few 
times). Most of the bugs are gone now, unless you are using a newly 
developed feature or library. I agree that the hex file may not be optimal 
in performance and/or size, but for the things I am doing it is good enough.

I'm happy with it, and the time it saved me with the libraries and the 
shorter learning curve from my pascal background far outweights its 
shortcomings.

Cheers
