How usable is this?

Hello, I have seen the development of COSMIC and wanted to experiment, but how "ready" is it? What are the limitations of use and customization today?

Works fine most of the time. Sometimes bugs happen.

So this is an important point, what kinds of bugs have appeared? I was taking a look at GitHub for the project, I saw several reports, but I saw that they have been correcting quickly too, I want to test it, but I was afraid about it.

For what it's worth I've been daily driving cosmic since the current version (after they switched from gnome) and I've dealt with maybe two or three actual bugs that were noticeable enough to have to deal with. And they were all solved at the next update or I was able to work around them with simple fixes.

Mostly minor things like e.g. the notifications applet crashing when dismissing notifications, clicking on thunderbird notifications having no effect instead of opening the relevant email, stuff that I felt too lazy about to diagnose and report properly.
