So far so good. Upgrade from 0.15.1 64-bit was problemless. Really like the option to quit client with Q button when starting up. Comes handy on really slow systems if there is need to abort loading. I do not like the new Bleach32 adresses. The look like some random altcoin adresses but time will show how they are adopted. The presentation from Peter on Jewtube is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqiN9VFE4CU The Replace by Fee option also can come handy in some situations when you might need to double-spend.

A new address type was necessary for easy native segwit, and they have a number of benefits over the legacy (1/3) address types, which if you have seen Peter's presentation I'm sure you are aware of Smiley So no need to dislike them!
