I checked out the Asset module today was very impressed. The interface beats the pants off of IMCE and the concept of keeping the file system independent from the node system just makes sense to me. If it's one thing I've had a hard time doing, it's explaining how to insert files into content for users that I create sites for, and this just made that job much easier due to the intuitive design of the interface.

One feature that is in asset module is an asset_content.inc file that utilizes cck's hook_field_info() and uses the asset interface for attaching files to your nodes. This will come in handy for users since it provides a way to access not only new files but existing ones as well within forms that they may already be familiar with using. Plus it should keep my template logic in order when I make the switch from, say, and imagefield to an assetfield. There may be some small issues with changing field names or whatnot, but it'll be conceptually the same. I guess we'll see with a little more testing.

Thanks Wim and everyone else who has helped out on this project!
