This component is good at what it does: As a catalog or business listing with custom fields. As an experienced developer I found a couple of major weaknesses though: First of all, the backend is ugly and does not make use of the normal Joomla buttons. This is bad when creating websites for customers, as you want a streamlined backend. The second and biggest issue is the programming of the component. If you want to customize the code, it's a nightmare. It doesn't make clear use of the MVC pattern, and most of the Joomla coding guidelines are not used.

So if you want a component out of the box: go ahead. If you want to customize it in just a minor way: stay away.
