I feel like it's finally at the point where the issues are minor enough that I have the patience to deal with them. I've been using the release candidates for the last couple of weeks and mostly it comes down to remembering to save regularly and occasionally having to shut it down and restart. Honestly, some of the commercial solutions aren't drastically better in that respect!
