I looked at it when it came out... and decided not to. I believe that this was a complete miss of what Software Engineers do. The issue being that I'd have to pass a FE exam first and that implies a traditional Engineering degree with all the heavy physics and such. I took computer science classes - not fluid dynamics and electrical systems.

It appears to have been for Engineers who want to be credentialed in software rather than a credential for a software developer to be able to attest to PE level standards of competency.
