I had one and sold it, because I got fed up fixing the CA.
It's a consumer grade lens as indicated by the correction, or lack thereof, of it's optical aberrations.
Mehhhh, I don't know. I agree with everything everyone is saying -- it does suffer from CA, particularly at wide apertures, but for the money, its ok. I had done some comparisons a while back pitting it against the kit lens at 35mm -- did not address CA, but from a sharpness standpoint it was pretty good:

Actually, that damn kit lens is pretty good. I was totally expecting to see it was trash but it was surprisingly good. (build quality sucks, focus speed sucks, etc.) but optically not so bad. Of course, I've since hopped on the FX train so that lens collects dust now...
Anyone used the 35mm f1.8 on FX (not in DX crop mode)? Love the 35mm focal length and want to add it to the collection so starting to look at my options. I've read about the vignetting on FX, but that it isn't too bad wide open.
