There are a ton of different options and variables you have to play around with and it's not the most user-friendly program out there. But if you're willing to learn by trial and error, I think the results can be worth it. Once I took an hour to just play with all the different options and see what everything does, I was able to create an image I liked.
One tip that worked out well for me: once you find a blend of settings that produces the results you want, you can save those settings for future use.

The website says that the 64-bit Windows version isn't considered stable yet, there are a lot of bugs that have to be worked out that cause it to crash. So if you're running Windows 64-bit, you still want to install the 32-bit version of the software.
I tried the 64-bit version first and it did crash, although it wasn't horrible. But so far the 32-bit works just fine.

What all the parameters and tone mapping profiles do and when to use each one
Understanding this and making slight adjustments to the "pre-gamma" will make a huge difference.
