I was really looking forward to this release and particularly Xenocara, because the old x.org didn't work well with my Intel graphics.

I like the secure by design principle, high code quality and good documentation a lot, although Linux (I'm using Archlinux) seems to be faster and with features like tickless kernel it's probably better suited for mobile usage, but there have been many improvements in OpenBSD as well in this regard.

I doubt that this release will make me switch, but I'm seeing constant improvements here.
