Parallax propeller, Help?

Well, I have been messing around with a bunch of PIC based microcontrollers for a while now, but I want to get into parallel processing. What are your impressions with the Parallax propeller chip and the spin programming language ? Limitations? Advantages? Any help is appreciated :D

My experience?

I hate Spin with a fiery passion.

The Propeller is insanely powerful for what it is, and I had a good bit of fun with mine. (In the form of an XGS Hydra)
You can accomplish some great things with a Propeller, and if you're willing to beat your way through Spin, then you'll be glad you did.

Trust me though, this will be quite a move from anything you've ever done with a PIC.
