This component is simply the best component around regarding ease of use, flexibility and potentials, support (even if it's free) and community help.

Sobi2 is updated continuously by the Sigsiu team so the chance of having malfunctioning or bug related problems is near to zero (never found one in years).
And if you find a bug and you post it on the community boards it will be probably fixed faster than you can imagine.

The best part for me is the fact that is very easy to customize, even if you're not very skilled with graphics or php.

This component is an absolute must for everyone who needs a directory or listing site.
