Overall my impression is negative. Now it may be a mistaken impression, but the impression I get of Buddhism is that it subscribes to the Gnostic concept that spirit is good, flesh is bad, and thus we should strive to become as spirit like as possible and strive to escape our fleshy prisons.  That is not a concept I agree with in the least, so for me it outweighs the valuable parts of Buddhism, especially when it appears to me that with Taoism I can get my RDA of Eastern philosophy without the taint of Gnostic disgust with the flesh.
