Default Is Sevin A Good General Purpose Insecticide?

I've noticed tiny pin holes in the leaves of my bell peppers, egg
plants, ground cherries and cantaloupe. My neighbor told me that he
uses a product called Sevin that comes in a spray bottle ready to use.
Said he's been using it for years and it works quite well for him. I
guess my question is: would this be a good general purpose insecticide
for use in my vegetable garden?

Sevin is good, but don't use it when there are any bees around --
and I mean ANY bees. (Sevin gets on a few worker bees and it will
kill the whole hive)
