It's complicated, just like the Hero System, and it's clunky, likely because it's written in Java.
Despite this Hero Designer is still worth $25. It's simpler than building powers on paper as it checks that you are conforming to the rules and you can include notes everywhere so you know why you built something the way you did. Despite the user interface quirks I am glad it is written in Java, because it would very likely be Windows only otherwise.
If you are planing on running a game of Hero – buy it. If you are playing a game of Hero tell your GM to buy it.
