Acetic acid is commonly known as vinegar. It depends on what you are using it for as to whether it is good or bad. Personally, I love balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, so I would say it is good.
As to it's properties, acetic acid is a weak acid, meaning it will not burn you if you spill it, unlike HCl or H2SO4. Of course, if you are in a lab, you should still wear gloves, etc.
