I would call it stable, but some features definitely aren't working well -
but for the most part it was the same features in 5.0 that didn't work well
then either (Outline view, code assist, etc).  I would say that for the most
part upgrading would be purely gain.

What I haven't seen and what I would like to see is a "Fixed and New
features" list.  Anybody know where one might be?

I ordered it from our BP the same day as you. It arrived while I was on
holiday last week - so I'm not sure the exact date. It can be done
within a fortnight it seems.

Unfortunately I can't do anything with it as our managers want to stick
with 5.0 on the BP's recommendation. Given that we haven't actually
started on our main project - still training & finding our feet - it
would seem a good time to upgrade. The alternative would be during the
project (which I can't see happening) or afterwards, which will put it
well into next year :(

Good reasons for an earlier upgrade would be welcomed... As yet I've
only seen good reviews of it, which goes against what our BP is saying.
