I remember learning about it in the past also, and I didn't spend much time there. It's good for the people who stuck it out because it did finally release. I think that the wait was just too long for too many people. I didn't participate because I didn't want to install it on my devices.
Yeah, installing it was an issue for many people. For me I didn't pay attention to it. However there are people who paid attention to it and here they are. I think the mining also took very long, so I think this was a big problem too.
