Well, I'm pretty satisfied with it. I've had P6 for a year, and SR3 was a godsend, but P7 is even better in regards to Firefly. I've only had it crash or disappear twice; once when I tried to rename a folder in the new Collections library, and another when my system over-reached it's VM.
Using Stewer's texture filtering script is great, since it sould only be used on selected items, otherwise your scene is blurry. I had a chance to play around with the new Morph Brush, and love it for clothes. Denser meshes, like faces is more difficult and will take time, but I nearly got the desired effects I wanted with the new brush than I ever did with magnets, and it's so easy to zero out, unlike the magnets, if you make a mistake. It didn't want to work on hr2's parented to a head, though. Need more time to play with it :)
The lights are easier to pose, and are not automatically set so far out of bounds as they use to be, but they seem a bit cranked up compared to P6 lights.
The Preview window is so much better, and closer to the actually textures now. I love it! Unfortunately, shadows and lughts still don't show properly (i.e. exactly as in preview) since those have to be rendered. Dial control seems to be more user friendly and exact. Works great with my Wacom tablet and pen :)
SR 1 should be out in January, so the first round of "bugs" should be fixed or somewhat addressed in that.
