I'm curious: What exactly did you find difficult in the transition between 5.x and 6.0?

Pretty much everything that works in 5.x still works in 6.0 in almost the same way.

The only "problems" that I encountered were:

  • You can migrate in only one direction from 5.x to 6.0 (should not be a problem once 6.0 becomes the default).
  • A few keyboard shortcuts have changed (very easy to adapt to).

Everything else in my opinion is just more intuitive, much more flexible and easier to use. You don't have to use the new features if you don't want to, but I promise you will want to once you played with them... ;-)

I have been using 6.0 (5.99) exclusively for several months now and I don't look back. The nightly builds were surprisingly stable.
