I basically like it, but stopped using it entirely when I picked up a copy
of Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis of the New Testament, which I reference on
the list of 'cheats'. I lent Linguistic Keys to my pastor about a year ago
and have completely forgotten to ask for it back. Zerwick is much more
comprehensive, and is keyed to his intermediate grammar.

However, I am extremely interested in the *two* new editions of Linguistic
Keys that are being published in the near future, one by Zondervan, one by
Hendrickson. Each of these is much more comprehensive than the original.
There was a German update to Linguistic Keys which has not yet been
published, and Hendrickson will be publishing an English translation of
that; simultaneously, Rogers and son have done an updated English version
which Zondervan will publish.

I hope I got some of that straight - I am typing this in from memory without
checking my sources.

At any rate, I plan to evaluate these two editions when they come out, and
will probably mention them on the site then.
