Encore takes a little getting used to - especially if you're trying to build your own custom menu buttons but is reasonably powerful and, once gotten used to, reasonably easy to use.

My biggest gripe with it is inserting scene index points. Unless there's something obvious I've missed, this is incredibly painful. I keep looking to see if there's some form of import function for this, but not found anything yet...

It's also a little slow when transcoding your video. I recently copied a TV episode to DVD for a friend who missed the original show, and for 40minuted of raw DV (approximately 35GB) my machine took nigh on 12 hours to produce the final DVD (Athlon XP1900+ w/512MB).
