I think it's great compared to a VAN. Spending <5 minutes to swap out a certificate for a partner every 2-10 years isn't so big of a deal for us, it's free, instant, I don't have to request interconnects, no questions about the integrity of our data, etc. Not so worried about the encryption part - plain old direct FTP would be fine with me also... I can see how different companies would like or dislike it, though- and besides certificates, partners sometimes have IP & port changes, however rare. (But then so do VANs, I suppose.)

Qualifying this by stating I work pretty much exclusively with supply chain applications (PO, Invoice, ASN et al), the 'raison d'etre for AS/2' I hear most often is "data security."
