Has anyone tried Statcounter alternative to G Analytics?

Hi I’m looking at Statcounter for site Analytics script. Has anyone used it? Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

The biggest issue is of course the proprietary keyword data that google shares is only available from Google.

I found that I don't need to run Google Analytics for keyword data. I have a Google Adwords account but I don't use their Analytics on any sites... slows down pages way too much. I still get keyword usage and AWstats gives me overall traffic counts.
