Freaking FANTASTIC (bugs excepted here and there), Then Again I never stick to stables, and have learned more about xbmc and (Linux) because of it. (personally I compile from source) but xvba ppa are great for non compilers.
Moving form EDEN to frodo pre builds you "likely" to have to delete the guisettings.xml and perhaps if you use profiles also start again, many settings have changed and may be incompatible as I found.
With a few userdata backups or HDD full backups nothing that cant be undone.
In my case I recently reinstalled minimal ubuntu 12.04 (no window managers or x managers) and then used all the stuff in my signature to get back up and running aOK.
Issues are no greater imo than using EDEN, (there's no major issues that haven't got a workaround).
Bare in mind art and scrapping and some additions have been made that are completely different, not to mention the audioengine (though not perfect its better than old way)

You shouldn't have to delete anything when moving from Eden to Frodo - it should be perfectly seamless.
However, it would, ofcourse, be prudent to make a copy of userdata just in case.

Hey JM
Great work, with the library juggling, can I ask about the vdpau changes from fernetmenta that seems to be left ignored?
It would make frodo super better. and I looks like its not going to happen., any info?
