Does anyone have experience with Gdi Plus

I am wondering if anyone has experience with GDI plus from Microsoft. This dll is an extension to the basic gdi from the early days of windows development. I am not sure if people are still using this technology, but most of the principles one uses in gdi, at least at a very high level, can be used with any graphics library. I am hoping to post an article on a project that draws a 5 day forecast from an online feed, and is able to cache/reload the feed to/from disk.
