To say that the FPL software has issues and is buggy is like saying that two feet of snow makes driving a "little" more challenging ... It really is a shame that the software turns so many people off before they have a decent chance to get hooked on this service. I tolerate the software (barely) and find the overall service worthwhile ... in my current budgetary state, the cost is definitely a driving and determining factor, but that aside, the service is pretty good (when the damn client software can make use of it!)
