I have been using TurboTax for many years and have nothing but praise for the ease of use and the speed of getting my taxes done quickly. I would recommend to anyone.
What's great about it: Quick and painless
What's not so great: None

A little harder to use than 2012 version (or am I just getting older?).

A FEW BUGS

Doing the Taxes was very easy once you figured out the right answer to the IRA question so the that you could enter your IRA basis. It should be transferred automatically from the previous years file; but, it does not.
What's great about it: Simplifies the process with the downloads.
What's not so great: Does not explain the IRA distribution very well.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Two minor details:
Not enough TurboTax Basic information to enable the proper recording of ISO transactions.
The Contribution W/S was difficult to understand and difficult to use.
What's great about it: Step-by-step easy to follow; running total refund helpful
What's not so great: Continuing pressure to upgrade. Once is enough.

Con - All capital gains do not show on the summary page of income. Need to fix - it was confusing.
What's great about it: Quick calculations, easy to follow, time saving
What's not so great: Attempting to sell add-ons as one progresses through the program.

User Interface changes
on April 2, 2014
Posted by: AAAReviewer1234

None of the user interface changes have improved anything. However you changes cause us existing customers to have stress and re-learn using the program unecessarily.
What's great about it: Ability to access forms etc directly rather than do taxes by prompt.
What's not so great: User interface changes from previous viersions have been counterproductive.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Inability to file by E-mail program would not allow E-file. Required to file by mail.
In past years this was a simple procedure. It obviously needs improvement before next year.
What's not so great: lack of notification as to when forms would be ready to file
