For an alpha (specifically Alpha 3) it is very decent. No instability so far, very responsive. Speed is subjective though, I suspect it's not doing many animations which really kill a DE. It's snappy. Hope it stays that way. The green glowing active window border is a bit ug, but I can live with it (and it can be changed.

If you need information on the risks associated with generative artificial intelligence, I recommend “The Intelligence Illusion” by Baldur Bjarnason @baldur illusion.baldurbjarnason.com (see also needtoknow.fyi for a preview of the contents)
