Yes, it does look good. The quality of the documentation,
however, leaves much to be desired -- it is neither
complete nor accurate! FWIW, my advice to the PureBasic
team would be to get the documentation in order before
proceeding with (further) development, because this will
surely result in a massive increase in the user base.

You know, I'd even offer my services in writing/compiling
professional looking documentation if I knew that a
concerted effort was being made to follow my advice. ;)
