Overall -- Originally the documentation was aweful so things could be challenging. Now there is more and it is much easier to use. Significant advances have been made with SPM5 in terms of user interface and ability to change options while setting up the analysis of interest. Documentation -- Originally there was no documentation. However, now there is significantly more and it is very helpful. Also, the e-mail list support is very quick to answer all questions. Long-term -- I think it will continue to be used by the fMRI community since it is free and well recognized and becoming much better documented. There are of course other tools (FSL for example) that may be just as good, but I see no benefit to switching to that tool if one is already using SPM. Feature Requests -- SPM2 had no capability to make batch scripts unless you were a programmer. This was a disadvantage. SPM5 however, alows you to create batch scripts to re-use for later analyses. This has been very helpful.
Similar Tool/Resource -- None really. I am familiar with FSL but have not used it to analyze any data.
