Fairly Decent
I'm designing a new publication platform for a client and recommended they use WordPress instead of going the route of building a CMS from scratch. Ended up choosing Magazine Blocks because it was simple, straight forward, and easy to use. It also didn't bulk me down with a bunch of secondary and third party other plugins for support. It made the custom development work I had to do much easier, and that's always a good thing.

Happy with Magazine Bloicks
I'm am happy to use Magazine Blocks in combination with theme MagazineX. It works fine and stable. And it gives many opportunities in lay-out of the website. The service from ThemeGrill Helpdesk is also very good. There was an WP-issue with the 1..3.9 update, so I mailed them. It was fixed within a day.
