I like it too, especially the new Firefox.  So far, I've only found
one anomaly with it, and I have a workaround.  It does work with web
pages where previous versions would not.

I use it periodically to transfer files from my main Unix system to
another system that runs Windows 10.  I know there are alternatives to
USB sticks, but they are convenient.  USB automount is useful to me.

In both cases, it has taken me some time to notice problems with OI.
Automated testing would not help much, because you have to know what
a problem is, before you can design a test for it.
