Far better for subtitle authoring than all of the current alternatives (yes, I tried all of them). The UI is everything you could want it to be (just remember to enable the video preview and audio waveform panels).

It's the best. no doubt about that. However links to tutorials should be added in the Help tab.

I'm using it to sync subtitles for educational purposes. Visual sync option is very useful and user-friendly.

Needed to sync the sub to the video. Had no idea what I was doing. Learned enough in about five minutes of playing to get the job done. It's a keeper. Could be prettier in its UI but I'm not going to complain. :D
