It all depends on one factor - CREATIVITY !! How far you can think out of the box makes your video look good or bad !

Well, as you say it's good for beginners, but if you want to do professional stuff I think you will have to rely on software such as Adobe Flash, Premiere and After effects. But there's a new toy in town: PowToon - http://www.powtoon.com/ - It really looks promising and easy to use!
