I'm tempted to experiment with it later this year.

The Google forms are easier to manipulate, but one disadvantage with them is that if you event has limited seats, you have to monitor the registrations and manually shut them off when you are capacity.  They also don't send confirmation emails.  The plugin allows you to automatically cap registrations, and send automatic confirmations.
