As for this database specifically, my main complaint is that the display style is just too small. The type is tiny, probably 10 point. And since it's FM-based, there's nothing the user can do to make it look better, unlike with a Cocoa solution that would be able to adjust to the user's needs. And, of course, FM still hasn't the slightest resemblance to Aqua, so it just looks clunky. There's no information about what the little arrow controls next to some fields do, so you just have to guess or slog through the manual (tip: a system like this should be self-explanatory--there's nothing you can do with a FM solution that should need a manual to explain). If I want an overly complicated media database, I'll use Readerware--at least that can do things that FM can't.
Maybe if this were offered as a freebie, I might consider using it. But $25? There are better options available for less.
