There have been quite a few comments before about the interface, but I found v4 a nice app. However, the version 5 app is very late arriving and now it has (almost) I'm finding it very frustrating to use.
If you want to move a topic cell around, you have to wait for a little popup to appear, which you then grab with the mouse to move the cell. Ugghhh:-(

Notwithstanding my other comments I might have been interested in upgrading but I just don't trust the company.

Datagraph does a nice job but is pricy.

I think it depends on what you are after. If you want an extremely versatile plotting app, that can be tailored to give high quality vector images ready for printing then probably yes.
If you are a more casual user, like me, then I think the price will put many new users off purchasing. Although updates are free.
On the other hand, there are few alternatives that I find attractive.
OmniGraphSketcher is good in many ways, but is not really for plotting functions, and I often find kinks in my graph after importing data from a csv file.
The Apple Grapher (in utilities folder) is excellent in many ways, but I wanted more control over the output, with the ability to save styles.
DataGraph is being actively developed and has a very responsive author (always a good sign:-)

Not a good sign I feel.
v11 is prone to crashing on SL on my MacPro so I did wonder about upgrading.
One limitation I found with v11 was that the number of pages in a document that can be ocr'd are limited unless you get the corporate version, which is a bit sneaky.

It does have a long list of impressive features, but there are some important gaps too. Three that stand out to me are that there is no Contents/Indexing facilities, no footnotes and no tables.
The app also crashed a couple of times when trying to set it up in a book format.
So still some way to go yet.
