Started playing with the new version of WordPress the last few days.

It has been a relatively pleasant experience for me unlike the change to 2.3 which was a nightmare.

So far have not had any plugins problems (rare for a new version) and the ability to upgrade the plugins from the dashboard seems to work most of the time. I have had a few problems and gotten a few errors but that may have been a hiccup on my server or theirs. Further testing will let us know.

The interface is quite different and I will be upgrading a few sites before I would recommend that others do. I have however used it for a couple new sites with no problems.

Look for a video walk through in the next few days here of the new interface.

If you are doing a new blog use it. Upgrading I would wait a bit yet and see if any bugs surface.

Overall, probably the best release I have seen in quite a while and will be interesting to see how they use this for the next generation.

My gut tells me the next version is where the major changes lie.
