I have the same opinion, the port is ready for daily use:
- the LCD glitches do not render the device unusable
- recording is not essential, and if necessary to someone there
is still the option to reboot to OF
- the battery life is decent even if not equal or better to the
battery life of OF (and you have a patch to improve it,
right?)
