I say WOW! :D

One negative that I noticed is that it is a memory hog

This is the same technology used by Nikon Capture NX. $250 for a plugin seems a lot of money. Anyway, any other feedback?

NIK makes excellent plug ins. I've been using their Color Efex Pro and Define plug-ins and they are outstanding. After a rough adjustment period I'm beginning to really like CaptureNX also.

I've downloaded a trial verison of Viveza and I am very impressed with the product.

Agree about the price being way to high. $99 seems about right.

After I got over the coolness factor...I realized I can do these same things for no added expense and have decided against it.

The masking feature is too limited and not absolute since areas outside the mask become somewhat effected by the adjustments.

For someone new to editing...it could be a real help.

I use their Sharpener Pro on almost every image...love it.

Have you noticed running out of memory problems? I did. When making 3 seperate control points the host app (Corel PP) ran out of memory and would not apply the Viveza adjustments. I have PP set to use 80% of available memory on my 2gb ram.
