It is recommended for daily use

Performance SUCKS
kinda contradicting, no?
also, is it just me, or is niche stuff like AirDrop being prioritized above actual features that matter like 802.11ac? If I knew how to help, I would, though.

Well, Idk about you but that niche stuff is one of the reasons why I want to use Hackintosh instead of Windows. Of course I do appreciate performance but it is not most important point for me.

That stuff is being worked on in the background as far as I can tell - getting AMPDU/ac work is a huge task (see the AMPDU branch). I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of the AirDrop stuff is just from more stuff being reversed while working on ac (though I honestly have no clue and am not trying to speak for the team).
