I haven't tried the 2.0 branch myself, but it _should_ be a drop in replacement.
It can, occasionally, be frustrating (for example run loop craziness), but in my opinion it's no more frustrating than working with any other stateful front end framework (WPF, backbone etc...).
I've been working on a side project (https://octopusmetrics.com) that allows you to connect these devices to your computer to record, visualize and analyze your EEG data in the browser. I think it's great that there are people out there thinking about how to do this more cheaply as it'll bring _real_ EEG devices into the price range where it'll be more available to hobbyists.
Problems:
* Can't choose installation path * No offline installation * Hard (impossible?) to use with a CDN.
Here's an example of how to turn a directory of precompiled binaries into a click once package using powershell:

My powershell isn't _great_, so forgive any powershell oddities, but notice how much you have to massage the output of the mage tools to actually get it to do what you want.
EDIT: Actually maybe more like sea urchins?
He was involved in creating a wonderful documentary that follows suit makers of Naples called O'Mast (http://vimeo.com/16443611), which even for someone like me who knows nothing about suits was really interesting. I suggest checking it out as it'll give you an idea of the kind of skill required to make a custom made suit.
No matter what you may think about spending $4000 on a suit, it's a shame to see this kind of craftmanship dying out =(
As a chrome user I'm happy that it does one thing well and that's displaying web pages. Now I'm free to use any online RSS reader I want and be able to access my RSS feeds from anywhere.
Oh and my .vimrc is about 3gb now too.
