How stable are the 5.3.0 nightlies?

Just wondering how stable the 5.3.0 nightlies are?

I like to run the bleeding edge, just so I can raise any issues and generally help out the cause by testing.

But obviously I have to get my work done at the same time. So for the moment I've been sticking with the 5.2.0 release, to give 5.3.0 some time to solidify.

So I'm just wondering if it's still too early to move back to the nightlies track ...

The Komodo 5.3.0 nightlies are exactly the same as 5.2.0 at present - but that will change over time (as more features/changes are made to the Komodo svn trunk), i.e. it could likely grow more unstable over time.

I've been running nightly builds for about an year. So far I've only had two annoying problems which, though irritating, did not prevent me from doing my work in time.

I'd say nightlies are pretty stable and I recommend more 'experienced' users run these to help squash bugs early on.
