Hello, I'm a site admin/builder. I've been researching for days about how to essentially allow a user to make his/her own form, without me having to use the Form API, because I just don't have the time to do so. After playing with Field Collection, Conditional Fields, and various other failings with taxonomy, I found this gem of a module!! To me, this is a fantastic module! I for one, can't believe it's not more popular. With field collection, I can allow my user to put some information in a content type I have with a loose structure, and the last essential piece is that other users need to put info in a text-field, labelled by the other user. Webform doesn't work because it's not views-friendly, and the internal way of dealing with data isn't very nice.
I would love, love, love, to see CCK Input Elements for d7, and would absolutely be willing to test whatever situations I can think of. I understand that would involve dealing with Fields API, because that's in core now, but looking at the d7 code, it looks like (and I'm probably totally wrong), the key idea of this module is that when the field is themed, it's rendered instead of "shown".
Also, if I do happen to have this module all wrong, do you or anyone else know of something that would help me out? (I'm already aware of QForms, Webform, Field Collection, Subform (which is only a dependency to others), Views Field View, and I know here are lots of others that are basically all doing variations of the same thing.

yes, you are right, this module lets you build content types which look like a webform. look at the screenshot, it shows the "view mode" of a node, not the "edit mode". there is one catch: there is no backend, which is able to save the entered values by the end users. this is the job of a specialized module you need to write on your own, so far.
As for porting to d7 (or in first place finishing up d6 version), I have to wait for september or october to have some time for drupal development again. :/
