I have used it extensively for a project I am involved with and it is
excellent.

When I first started using it it did not have SMB Signing support or
Encryption support, but Ronnie has added both of those.

I use it for accessing SMB servers like NetApp 7-Mode, NetApp C-Mode and Isilon.

It is amusing, as well, seeing the differences between NetApp 7-Mode
and C-Mode (C-Mode says Compound Responses? What are they?).
