Generally its well liked. An improvement on the 29'er which was well liked, generally.

Was interested in one myself - reports I've seen on here and elsewhere have been uniformly good.
Depends how flush you're feeling - price is terrific and do you want to spend an extra grand on something nicer looking, only to gain four fifths of fk all in ride quality? I don't, but my enduro bike is very much a second ride for me. If it was my one do-it-all bike, I might be inclined to look elsewhere.

Not ridden one, or even seen one in real life, but at £600 for frame and shock there's nothing with comparable geometry that can touch it - if you're buying new.

You're not expecting it to be light, are you?

No chakaping I've not even considered weight . Just thinking that at £599 for a frame and shock Shirley it's worth a punt

I might buy one myself at that price.
