Some people like it, but some people have complained about the amount of pressure that has to be applied in order to get a clean cut. I think the Fiskar system is safer to use than a regular rotary cutter (which makes it better for children), and some people find it easier to get straight cuts using it; however, I don't think it is any easier on the hands and wrist than regular rotary cutting.

Have you looked at the Martelli rotary cutter? It is ergonomic and keeps the wrist in a neutral position, so it is easier on the hands. It does take some getting used to, but I personally like it a lot. The Accuquilt Go! might work for you also if a cranking action is something you can manage.
