I purchased it when it first appeared about 2 months ago, and have been using it a lot since, for commercial work and just playing around. Its skies are incredible, and look very realistic. One of the best features for me, were the volumetric style light beams. In some instances I have stopped rendering volumeric light in my 3D renders and have started adding them using Aurora instead.
Apart from adding new or enhanced elements to photos, its very good at creating natural looking images from scratch, that look very real after a bit of Photoshop work. I could go on, but if you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them.
There is one small issue, and that while it works fine in PS 6, in PS 7 the status bar appears to be stuck when you click on the render button. In fact Aurora is working fine, but it just means you cannot tell how long its going to take to display its rendered image. I have mentioned this on to Digital Element, and they say a fix will appear.
