In later '06, I set it up, with nobody I worked with knowing anything
about how to do it. The "tools" suck dead roaches, the error messages are
lousy, and its error handling leases much to be desired, like, um, error
handling. The documentation was mostly out of date, and written worse than
old mainframe documentation (which I have, indeed, used).
Once its working, it's ok, but doing *anything* to it is a royal pain. I'm
glad you have no trouble; I, and most folks I've spoken with about it,
think the way I do.
