I have been testing the Windows build, and I have to say that Inkscape  is now tolerable to work with in terms of speed for things that doesn't  push the limitation of Inkscape render engine. So far, so good, but it  is too early to say if there is a problem besides that, and the obvious  - features lacking in that build that's only found in experimental  Inkscape and of course features we all want to see in Inkscape, but that  is besides the point. I'm not sure if I can call the tweak objects as a  buggy tool, but I find that there's no way to preserve information by  not allowing it to delete or add nodes, or no way to paint alpha on  gradient mesh like if you were using Photoshop or Krita or GIMP and  using layer mask. But, that's all I have for now. I will be testing it  more, and will report soon as I really want to see Inkscape improves  feature-wise soon as possible.
