How is everyone digging 6 so far?

TBH light theme saved it for me, worked on same project from v4 on 4/5/6 and visually 6 was really suiting my eyes, but every time I update, I got shocked how much I actually hate default theme and only reason I got with it is because of the chance to modify it to my taste. New automation is really nice, that's kinda only thing I noticed so far, clip launcher have some latency bugs, but they will sort it out I guess, not a big deal.
