It just seems to be very versatile and easy to use. Also, you can go on the website's userboards and ask that they add features (they do review the requests and add them if needed) or ask questions about how to use features... I find it very user friendly. You can do just about anything with it (at least anything that I can think of!) and you can add your own categories of data as needed. ... Anyway, I highly recommend it.
