I just love it. It feels like Android, it works like Android, but it one major advantage compared with 'normal' Android: There is no risk that private data like addresses, phones numbers, or your location is shared with any Google servers. /e/ enables you what is pretty rare on mobile phones: You decide just yourself what you do with your data.
