As a developer I love how easy it is to customize Ninja Forms. It's built in a modular form so at any point you can inject your own programming and change the output. If you need to add a hook for some custom logic you can suggest it on GitHub or send a pull request yourself and it will quickly be merged into the main plugin. All round there isn't a better form plugin for developers or anyone really.
