I've found it great for sharing to home users, but practically useless for sharing to people behind corporate firewalls, since these are so often programmed to reject incoming files that don't have particular extensions. Yes, that's a fault on the part of the firewall, but it's a common enough scenario that it's frustrating that it hasn't been catered for in the .Mac/MobileMe file-sharing.
