Short version: I have 2 corded routers and I bought this strictly for trim work. It turned out to be so useful, I ended up using it the most. It is so easy to grab it and chamfer or round over a work piece. As a router, it works fine with high quality bits like Whiteside, even without speed control. It's downside is ergonomics. Due to its battery form factor, it is not round-shaped like most trim routers. You can only hold it one way and the power button is awkward to reach when the router is on. It also lacks brake. So you either have to hold it until the bit stops or set it upside down and wait for the bit to stop. I am never comfortable with either situation.
I just picked up the Dewalt cordless router for $99 after the battery hack. I don't think the Dewait works better than Ryobi strictly as a trim router, but it is safer (with electronic brake) and more enjoyable to operate.
Bottom line: if you are going to use a trim router a lot, you should include ergonomics in the buying decision. Otherwise, it is fine to put up with the Ryobi and save a few bucks to spend on quality bits.

I don't do "fine" furniture but for a bright blue kids step stool a decorative edge doesn't have to be "fine"…. Rounding over corners on shelving for a more finished/durable look…. It work.
