Does anyone here use Comic Life 3?

I just started using Comic Life 3, and I am pretty impressed with it so far. Up till now, I had been doing my page assembly in GIMP, but this has drag and drop for everything that I need to do, and the only thing I am using GIMP for now is sizing and conversions. Has anyone else used the programme, and have any tips or comments concerning it?

I've been using Comic Life 2 for speech ballons for a long time now. Just the lettering, though. Actual artwork I do in Photoshop.

Yeah, the bad thing about Comic Life is you can't do artwork in it, but for page layouts, I am very impressed. This is the easiest layout and lettering tool I can imagine. So many page templates, and I have been able to do every panel layout I wanted. But the thing I like the most is the auto-cropping for the artwork. That's made my panel design a lot easier. The page I am posting next Wednesday was done totally in CL3 with the exception of the art itself.
