I use it (once in a while) and I try to donate regularly just to keep it afloat, it's needed.
It's really powerful in many ways but god it's UX is still awful, especially the configurations. The search if pathetic!

I've found it to be somewhat crash prone, for now, but the overall look and feel is a huge improvement.
Like the new left navigation bar, which just opens a tab at the top.

How odd. I think Thunderbird's search is it's most amazing feature.
Maybe that's because I'm a programmer. It can do a multi keyword stem search on literally gigabytes of emails, and return the results in 10's of milliseconds. It looks instantaneous. It's genuinely shocking to me how fast it's inverted index is.
And ... the results are accurate. It's so fast I sometimes have doubted it, and checked the result with grep. It's always right - and grep is much slower. Outlook in comparison, which is one of the few other desktop email clients remaining standing, is just terrible - it's search is slow, inaccurate and so feature bloated you never can be quite sure what corpus it's considering. And it corrupts itself regularly. But I guess comparing it to Outlook is setting a very low bar.
unless you mean the extensions?
