I'll echo what everyone else is saying: you can't fault the quality but they're too expensive relative to comparable products and the UIs, while not unusable, aren't great. To be fair, it's not easy packing that much visual information and features into a UI without it getting messy.
FabFilter isn't a great comparison because the FF product line is not as broad and lacks BlueCat's analysis tools. But while FF stuff is also expensive, they've nailed the UI experience, IMO. All the FF tools I own (Pro-Q, Pro-C, Pro-L and Saturn) have become go-to plugins because of that.
Voxengo and meldaproductions may be better comparisons. Like BlueCat, their products are wide-ranging and of excellent quality with ugly UIs that are often not laid out in a logical way. But they're priced more attractively than BlueCat's.
