Looks like a tie so far (there's two that commented against and didn't vote.) I'm on the fence, personally.

Paul.
It is a great library, but very flexible and not required for run of the mill small sites. I've used it a handful of times mainly for saving docs to S3, and I've seen a couple of sites that could have benefited from it for Dropbox.
I can empathize with everyone's concern that it's too heavy of a library. The reason I brought it up in the first place, is because it seemed to solve the problem that three of our existing helpers are looking to solve (file, directory, and path) and then apply that to many other useful areas.
Which I guess brings me to another topic: what do people want out of those helpers? What's useful to you? A number of the functions are simple convenience methods that take care of opening and closing a file handle, etc. Others can be mimicked with one or two built-in PHP commands. Others genuinely save a bit of time, though their use might be a bit limited.
So: what do you guys need?
