I love it for desktop apps (with no server component) because it is so simple to deploy. I’ve also used it in conjunction with Sync for ADO.NET to develop an “occasionally connected” application. It and the sync framework work really well.

One thing to be aware of is that SQL Compact only supports a subset of SQL Server data types and there is little in the way of programmability – that is, no stored procedures, udfs or triggers.

Since we do our work on a contract basis, you can’t beat it in terms of lowering our overall fee (no licensing) and security.
