I just started using it when G2 was announced. I like it a lot better than WinMX, as far as the interface and the short queues. My only gripes with it are the lack of rare content and it's wierd multisourcing mechanism. I guess that's to keep it compatible with old versions of Gnutella, but hopefully they can leave it behind and focus on the future of the network. I think at some point G2 will allow users to locate each other by name no matter what part of the network they're on, and netwide chat rooms are not impossible either. They've laid the foundation for unique identities and encryption as well, but I'll bet those things are still a long way off. All these issues will be addressed as the network grows and I expect it to compete with Kazaa at the rate it's going now.
