Spent ~10 years on testing, been on unstable for probably 8 more years now. It's great. There are some periodic times when dependencies aren't satisfiable, but usually <1 wk. Aside from not being able to upgrade a package once or twice a year, I haven't seen any downside. It's great having the larger selection of packages available & I am glad to get latest greatest versions of things. I don't know why I spent time on "stable"... I thought I needed it, that life would be chaotic otherwise. And sometimes I'd have to go pin packages I needed at more reasonable versions in. But eventually i switched to testing then unstable, & it's been great.
