We use it at work.  The person in charge of selecting such things
thinks it is the best thing in the world.  I am not quite as impressed.

It works well for small networks.  We have about 15 stations on the
network I use and are having more frequent problems than I think we should.
A lot depends on what use you are going to put it to.  The work we do
extensively uses files on the server and things get bogged down a lot.
(This is the 2Mbps LanTastic, not their EtherNet)

If you are not too large and are not going to send a lot of data through
the network, it should work fine.  The reviews I've seen are good, for SMALL
networks.
