What do you guys think of these powertoys?

I've never used powertoys before and have in fact just heard about them.
Before I even try something though(software-wise), I like to hear others'
experiences. So:

1. Any known bugs/difficulties using them?
2. Have they been useful to you?

Thanks!

Power Calculator

With this PowerToy you can graph and evaluate functions as well as perform
many different types of conversions.
Image Resizer

This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a

In my view TweakUI (I don't personally find any of the others
particularly useful) should be seen as essential tool for everyone.
It's extremely easy to use, and there are no problems with it.

Note that TweakUI doesn't do anything you can't do without it. It's
essentially nothing but a special-purpose user-friendly registry
editor. But if you can do something with TweakUI, rather than editing
the registry directly, it's always a easier, safer way to accomplish
it.
