What do you expect us to say?  No, it is rubbish?  In my opinion it is several million times better than any original firmware, including the Sansa one.  However, whether you like it or not is up to you.  Read the link MarcGuay posted, read the manual etc., and hopefully come to the 'right' decision :)

And of course, there's really no risk involved so you can easily just test it and if you really don't like it for whatever reason you didn't pay anything for it and you can revert the installation completely and be back with your original firmware without any harm done.
