I wouldn't consider Wine "weak" at all, it just depends what you are trying to do. Try to think of Cedega and Crossover Office as your Windows XP, whereas normal Wine would be Windows 98 or 2000. I have successfully gotten tons of simple programs and games working with normal Wine, plus I don't have to deal with costs or licenses. For example, I got Diablo 2 (and expansion) going, classics like Space Empires 4, simple programs like Foxit PDF and Bejewelled Deluxe. I guess it depends on your needs, but if you install Wine thinking it'll handle Half Life 2 you will be disappointed. But don't be hard on Wine, as the above poster said it's really hard to handle all those undocumented WinAPIs.
