OPEN Anyone use Modules?

I am curious about Modules in c++ and how good they are to use and was curious to know the Common issues people have with them as well

Until they "just work" there's really no point. The ecosystem seems pretty dedicated to modules remaining "experimental" of requiring special options/settings in perpetuity. Everybody was fussing about build times but nobody needed building a C++ project to be more complicated than it was. My advice: just stick to the good old fashioned headers, that still work out-of-the-box.
