does anyone use pear?

i have browsed the repository, but never have installed it.

i'm interested to see what people think of it... does anyone use it?

I've tinkered with several PEAR classes, but not utilized them fully in any scripts I've built. HTML_Quickform is pretty cool; I've used Benchmark on a couple of cases (although I found it cumbersome in the simple uses I found for it) otherwise, probably the widest known and most used class would be DB (in which case I prefer to use either a simple connect script or my own class).

I really like the Pear-DB class. Aside from provide an abstraction layer for the database access, the get*() methods are convenient for quick "give me X from Y table."
