InfoPath Dev

Patrick. I appreciate your feedback on InfoPath 3rd party tools also.   Thanks.  

 Patrick,  As a SharePoint consultant we use both InfoPath and Pdf forms when comes to implementing solutions. Both technologies have their pros and cons. When working with customers, we work very hard to set proper expectations about InfoPath and other technologies. Praising easy-to-use InfoPath does not do any good to this technology. ...

 I would recommend using Pdf forms for SharePoint. Especially if you are on SharePoint 2010, then you even can use tools like pdfsharepoint.com. It allows designing pdf forms and fill-in forms using Adobe Reader. There are other Pdf forms solution also. InfoPath tends to be too complex for maintenance after form template is developed.
