They're nice unless you're trying to make a mod. It sucks having everything blow up just about every Monday. What was even worse is that our deliverables were always on Mondays. -_-
Then there's also the fact the offline mode just doesn't work unless you have the special Valve only dll that makes it work offline (which I know exists because I actually got it from them last GDC). I don't know how many interviews I had where people wanted to see some of my HL2 work but I couldn't show them because I couldn't open Hammer because I couldn't connect to anything.
