I'm working on a Content Pipeline for it at the moment so I can use it pretty much exclusively. It's really easy to use meta values on tiles to add event identifiers that the engine can check for. I honestly can't find anything I'd want to do in a game that can't be done easily with Tiled. I can even use Object Groups to place NPCs on the maps, which is really handy for being able to visually tell exactly where their start point is instead of having to make a bunch of calculations so you don't place them in a wall or something.

But yeah, TileStudio does great what its intended to do! In fact that’s what I use at work to do level prototyping :)
