A fellow called S. Monte Augenstein has written a review of the Aurora Toolset for Neverwinter Nights. He's found both good and not so good features in the program, but it seems like he's happy with it after all.

The next thing you'll notice is the tile sets and how they work. As promised, you can lay down an area of virtually any square-like design in a matter of minutes. The obvious limitation is that you are limited in your architectural design. The main limitation is that you can't mix areas, like having a castle in an underground cavern, or a forest in the middle of a castle. This really isn't that bad given the flexibility of the transition system and that fact that new tiles can always be made that include these things. The other limitation is that you are limited to the tile variations that are included; for instance, there are five crypt corridors, some have torches, some have graves, some have neither. Odds are that the exact look you want will not be included as a tile, but that doesn't mean you can't get what you want.
