We just got a copy of Apple's Shake in the office. I primarily work with After Effects and Cinema 4d for compositing. Does anybody out there work with Shake and have a little insight on Shake's pluses and negatives? What it is best used for? Thanks!

Good for blue/green screen and stuff and everything in 10bit log colourspace (cineon scans)
Good for compositing CGI
Not very intuitive for design work - you could compare it better with a Flame or Inferno without the real-time and editing capabilities.
Defenetily not an After Effects replacement.

there is an entire forum over at CGTalk for Shake users.

Something else very very annoying: Shake doesn't have real 3D space.
You have to fake it and some of the transform nodes are not build for it, they count pixels from the bottom left and not the center of the image.
Now they are stuck at Apple, all for the sake of backwards compatibllity, haha

It is not suited for motion-graphics per se. It's better suited for actual compositing (ie, CG, keying, rotoscoping, etc).
