First impressions: It is a stripped down version of Photoshop CS3 - it does a lot more than Elements 4 which I have and is a lot easier to use. I would suggest it is definitely one to consider if you do not want to go down the full Photoshop route. Many tasks are automated and handle the basics very well. It does not yet seem to be able to handle some of the better Photoshop plugins such a Nik Software Viveza, Dfine or ColorEfex Pro - I have also had it crash with Neatimage. Early days yet - keep with this thread if you are interested and I'll go into more detail shortly.
