Yes - it gets the best from NEF.
You can download a trial version, lasts about 1 month.
For NEF files it is great but it will not accept any other raw files, it does JPEG & TIFF though.
It does not use layers but control points. Have a look here http://www.dphotojournal.com/nikon-capture-nx-tips-and-tricks/

Another useful feature is that you can save any image as a NEF file.
This does not mean that a JPEG becomes a raw file
but any changes you make to the JPEG are not applied to the image data itself but are stored seperately so you can go back and edit the changes without further degredation of the JPEG.

It would be interesting to see someone like WDC do a sidfe by side comparison of the proprietory Raw converters against the likes of Lightroom and Aperture. I've heard that the likes of NX2 are better than the generic converters, but unless you shell out for both how do you tell?
