I've been using it for quite a while now, probably the single most valuable feature is the "delete all". It's pretty good at catching real spam, and somehow, real, valuable comments always make it to the top of the pile to be approved. The other thing I can suggest (and I'm going to give it a spin as soon as I get a chance) is <a href="http://recaptcha.net/plugins/wordpress/" rel="nofollow">reCaptcha</a>. I think it'd take care of every last bit of bot spam, and Akismet can clean up the rest.... would be a perfect combo in my opinion. Akismet is fantastic!
