It is a system that I do like a lot (not enough to call it perfect, but it is oen of my favoruites, the other favourite system is BRP; especially how it is doen in The Troubleshooters). It does imo opinion suit pulpy and slightly larger-than-life characters best, especially in a more adventurous setting. The main drawback is that it is hard coming up with good drawbacks, and the GM and players often miss invoking the aspects in a way that they earn new FATE-points.First version I came in contact with and ran was Spirit of The Century when it ws relatively new. I liked the concept, but it was too many aspects. Then later played in Dresden Files (the original version. In the story-telling subforum I even put up the chronicle of the campaign I played in there) and Atomic Robo. Those two are perfect imo.  I am not entirely sold on some of the mechanincs in the later versions. Then later I tried running The Ministry Initiative (based on the Ministry of Peculiar Occurences-novels) at a convention. It worked so-so.  Also ran a short campaign using Daring Comics RPG, where I kind of painted myself intoa  corner with a super-hero setting, and I made som less than optimal campaign choices (imo. superhero-games are much too reactionary, and here the characters were also a bit too powerful even though I put them on the lower end of the spectrum). Then in my group we had a short campaign in the Gods & Monsters-setting using Fate Accelereated. Was a fun idea, but it fizzled.  I prefer the Core and Condensed versions to Accelerated, but the Accelerated version is probably better for a quick one-off pickup game.Then later we did a one-shot in a sf-setting that turned into Wearing the Cape, and then later a short campaign in the FATE-version of Mindjammer. The latter was a setting that really really didn't work with FATE. It was much to complex. GURPS would have been a much better choice there.  And lately we ran a campaign that started as a campaign in Tianxia; Blood, Silk & Jade. It has now been converted to a homebrewed PbtA-campaign (the GM keeps fiddling with the rules to get the exakt mood he wants)</blockquote>
