CGMiner is extremely flexible platform-wise, and can work with a variety of hardware miners, and GPUs, including the CUDA and NVIDIA platforms. There is, however, a lot to improve.

CGMiner is a purely command-line tool. When there are a lot of features and settings to control, the purely command-line interface can make it very hard to control the behavior of CGMiner. There are a variety of GUI tools (also maintained as open-source), that help with this, but many of them do not interface well with the actual binaries of CGMiner.
