I've used this product for years, but this is likely my last year. I'll list a few of the many problems here.
Though it offers to print some things that it calls "worksheets," there's no way to print IRS worksheets that are critical to understand how different types of income contribute to your tax, such as the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or the Schedule D Tax Worksheet.
A printed return, with or without worksheets, doesn't show your capital loss carryover for the next year.
The "Jump To Related..." feature often says there are no related entries, even for lines such as 1040 Line 15, Taxable Income.
If your Windows Taskbar location is set to Left, some windows open partially hidden by the taskbar.
If you don't like unnecessary scrolling, you need to enlarge the Forms window every time you open it.
I'm hoping and expecting that TurboTax isn't this bad.
Cons: Hard to prepare
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The program works, but I am not convinced it is the best. Frankly, I am just not comfortable to switch to a competitor.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Easy to import documents
Cons: Doesn't maximize refund
