There's been a couple threads about it before. My opinion: it is garbage.
It has maybe two or three good ideas in there, but on the whole, it is
a very poor showing. The arrogant developers didn't do any research into
prior art when designing it, and it shows - good ideas are absent without
even a mention. Bad ideas remain in there saying "this is the best we could
do".

The only reason it gets any attention at all is because of the names attached
to it.
