I'm sure this will be great once I figure out how to use it. It is not at all user friendly, and I think it's most likely going to be quicker to go back to the graph paper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: The packaging
What's not so great: Too complicated if you don't have experience with this type of program.
Only purchase this program if you have experience with this type of program. There is too many options for the untrained even though the package says you do not need it.
The basic instruction videos on walls, ceilings, and floors disappears after you watch them, and the only way to get them back is to uninstall and then reinstall.
I drew my entire first floor which looked great in 2D, but when I went to 3D I had a combination of brick walls and inside walls. Also once I started my drawing I could not bring up the main menu to look at the sample projects.
Way too complicated to draw a basic floor plan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
