I've used the plugin before for awhile, thinking it would be an easy way to search for books in one location and include the descriptions. The plugin is already included in Calibre, you don't have to download it separately.
It takes awhile for it to complete, not unbearably long though, but the file output size is huge. Depending on how the comments section was formatted, you might find odd characters scattered throughout that may annoy you (I think it comes from some spaces in the descriptive comments), and text size isn't always consistent, it will be whatever was used in the comments for each book.
But it does work to give you a complete listing of all your books with a nice index at the beginning.
It wouldn't replace using shelves for me though on the Kobo, or collections on the Sonys. But you should give it a try in all the formats possible to see if it might suit your needs for some cataloging purpose.
Edit: The odd character you'll find is a black diamond with a white question mark inside.
