I gave it a try a couple of days ago, and I like what I see so far, even though I can't use it as my primary node yet.
I'm mine with p2pool and so I need it to support zmq before I can switch over and I also need it to support pruning so that I can not have to download and store the entire blockchain
It's not required for me since I use Tor, but it would also be useful to support SSL connections so that wallets could connect over HTTPS.
