I really enjoyed using live, I fell in love with it for a while - the timestretching is second to none as is its level of useability. Very, very intuitive to use, without much of a learning curve.
The native effects are good and very useable but not quite up to the standard of Logic. VST implementation is good.
My only gripe was the arrange window, I didnt really like the layout and found it all a bit to small and claustrophobic. Also the MIDI editing seemed a bit cumbersome. Hence the reason for my reverting back to Logic.
I found it great for creating loops but struggled to create good arrangements. Some people swear by it though, not sure what Live 7 is like I've only used versions 5 & 6.
Give the demo a good look though, you might love it.

second that.
very good to draw down, record ideas/loops. a very flexible tool!
the only thing im missing is a folder function to group different tracks (like in cubase)
fell in love, weapon of choice atm..

rewiring with reason is a snap//
automation was a bitch. although i heard they went to multiple lanes in 7.
arrangement was claustrophobic at times. zoom was also annoying... but i never bothered to learn the keyboard shortcuts.
am currently still on Reason.

well try running live in 1900 x 1440 and it makes the arrange window super fucking small .it is a bit frustrating when you cant find the button you just tweaked 3 secs ago because of how sleek the layout is,but i find it to be very refreshing now that ive gotten used to it since live 5.live 7 
is fucking awesome guys!! the analogue synth alone is my personal pic for fav new add on.just gettin started withit though ill be posting some shit here MAYBE if i get around to writing some mo shiz.

live 7 is the tits for every one who isnt a mac head and cant be arsed with cubase.
rewiring reason is a synch, automation lanes in 7 easy work flow.
ive even taken live out on laptop n played a 3 hour set with it, now can logic n cubase do that err me thinks not.
