It is unbelievably fast. I don't like it because I can't run the usual Firefox plug-ins, especially the ones that kill Flash cookies. But I use it a lot at work to test Webkit rendering for pages we have to make.

Does a good job on CSS too, pretty strict adherence unlike some other (cough cough IE-8) browsers.

Not that I'm an excellent web page designer, but I've found a fun niche using Ajax on browsers to control some ancient-assed gear through the intranet at work. Something perverse yet cool about controlling an early 90's Standard analog satellite receiver with a web browser.
