Although there has been a slight learning curve with the software, how to set up, operate, manipulate radios and servers. The biggest gripe about the program is the inability to resize the windows. This may seem petty, but really? no window size option?, except you can stretch the spectrum scope larger vertically. You would think Icom would have realized that users often will dedicate a whole screen to the waterfall display. So the only way to change the size of the windows is to change the resolution on the monitor. Currently I only use one monitor, but with the way this program works I feel I need to have a monitor maybe even with as low resolution as 640x480. Below is both 720 & 1080.
On another note, running with the Ic-7300 here, locally it's pretty nice. But when you want to remote the rig I've ran into a few things I don't like. There is a lot of radio settings that you have to change back and fourth when you want to go from local RS-BA1 operation[with spectrum scope], to RS-BA1 remote operation. (CIV Baud rate) (CIV USB Echo Back), (Unlink from Remote). So far I have not figured out how to run the spectrum scope via remote. Seems you have to set the baud rate to 19.2kbps for remote operation and the scope requires 115kbps. Anyway the scope via the software seems fairly responsive but not as nice as the waterfall on the radio, even if it is only on a 4.3" screen.
