Just tried it out for a short while and noticed some pros and cons to updating. Comparing this version to Bionic Beaver:
Pros
Installer is simple, basically identical to last version
For laptops, the touchpad controls seem better and now theres options to control how it emulates mouse input. Right clicking with a touchpad works better than ever
Printer seemed to show up right away without any faffing around
Icons on desktop have padding so everything aligns to a grid
Gnome Tweaks still works
Cons
Couldnt get gnome-panel to install, making it a pain in the ass to make desktop shortcuts
Even while using all dark themes, a few gui elements still show in white ( power down menu, right click menu, top right dropdown )
Couldnt browse Software Center, things came up if searched for but all the buttons for "Games," "Utilities," "Productivity" led to an empty page.
I like this version but am going to wait on upgrading my main rig for the time being
