Not bad! Of course there are some initial dot-oh release headaches here and there that need to get ironed out, but I like the underpinnings. The new font system that ditches XFS completely is really nice, it's controlled now by a more traditional "SysV-like" method with an /etc/fonts/conf.d/ and /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ that is easier to tweak and grasp. I use a lot of fonts, it's really helping.
I don't care for the default theme, it lags a little - I created a minor custom hybrid version of it that uses the Clearlooks window decorations on top of the Nadoka theme (new default) and it's much better. I also replace the default fonts with the "Luxi" versions +1 point (so "Sans 10" becomes "Luxi Sans 11") for much enhanced readability on LCD screens.
Now that I've gotten things ironed out (I never upgrade, always wipe & install using an external USB drive to hold my home directory temporarily) I think it's a keeper.
