I second that.

It's very fast, you have all the power of a true RDMS and you don't have to
be dealing with tens of flat files which makes things very easy. I use it
for standalone apps and also to implement 'cache' for client-server apps (to
work offline/disconected).

Another good is that if some day your 'standalone' app needs to share it's
data on a network, you just install FB *server* and you're done, you've got
a full client/server app.
