I use it regularly. It's a bit better, but I really would like to bypass the client altogether if possible. I don't want to sound too critical/ungrateful for something that is free in all senses of the word, but it does leave a lot to be desired. Main gripes: Their repo is either down or slow quite often. The client will just keep spinning until force closed. The new UI is worse (when is it not ? I can't remember a recent project whose new UI is better) Too many steps to do basic stuff. Entire blank page devoted to nearby (p2p) stuff, which I have no use for. Inconsistent links for issues, changelog etc., that can lead anywhere (either the upstream project, f-droid's version of the project, or some random website). Lot of other issues too that will get too long to get into here.
