I have used Hyperchem since version 4, on and off, mostly for teaching
purposes.

Overall, my conclusion is that Hyperchem is too slow and clunky to use for
research, and too expensive to use for teaching.

On the other hand, the GUI for Hyperchem 7 does have some nice features and
it is easy to teach students how to set up calculations using it.
