How good is this product for recording?

Lately I've been using Audacity to record music, but with my new computer it seems to take a **** on me on a daily basis. So I was wondering how good this product is:

Is it relatively easy to use? Is it worth the price? Anyone who owns one give me your opinion.

Audacity has never given me any problems that weren't user error with thew new version.
