I've only used it to create circular motion paths but it seemed to work fine after some initial teething troubles. I was using it
to create some orbits for planets in a solar system animation I'm doing. At first I had problems getting it to loop properly but
cloning the end point seemed to work fine (and extending the animation length was neccessary as it produced its last
keyframe at frame 64 instead of 60).
