What's everybody's take on Devine Machine, powerful loop sequencer or fancy toy?

I recently got a chance to try it out and it seemed interesting (read: complicated). Interface is kinda cool, I like the pattern preset option.
Hmm...

I thought

(1) great sounds - would be amazing to export the processed loops and used them in my sequencer.

(2) horrible interface. things all flipping around and changing like some crazy gizmo.

maybe i'm just afraid of change.

If you spend a couple or hours figuring out how it works, it's reall powerful! I had a lot of fun with it, but can't afford another program... got too many already! Too much stuff, not enough time!

yeah, great sounds, but one of the ugliest GUi I've ever seen...
It's supposed to be funky and sylish, while to me it's just irritating

being a fan of x-incarn and also one of the people crying (here and other places) about the fact that it didn't work in windows XP I'm a happy guy now.
Not about devine machine itself but the 'devine machine EZ' which is cheaper and is basically x-incarn as a vst that runs in XP with a few extra bells and whistles.
I'm already using it in my work
and I LOVE the fact that it can be opened in FL and further mangled by other interesting effects before exporting to wav.
as far as the GUI who gives a....
it works and anyone who used x-incarn should feel at home.

Seems, it can do a few interesting things. But the program itself doesn't seem too...intuitive. Maybe it's because I am use to Acid & FL. At a number of points when I thought I was doing 1 thing turned out I was doing another. I looked through the PDF and the tutorials. Huh? I just wanna mute a freakin snare! Huh?

Really (and this goes for all music production software) there should be tutorials as thorough and complete as what you get with like... Macromedia products.

oh yeah
I forgot that little snag
I was a bit bothered by the lack of a pdf too, but I managed to feel my way thru.
But for people trying it for the first time I think it should have one.
