It really depends on what you need to do with it. The page render pipeline
is pretty much complete (I'm sure there will be tweaks, but in general it
works and is really, really fast.)

Database connectivity is possible now, if you are willing to do
include_once. It will be possible with imports soon, when we incorporate
binarycloud/ext into the make process.

The more advanced tools are going to take a little time. The new
Authentication system is ridiculously powerful and extensible, but that
comes at a cost: extra time spent. Similar situations exist with the other
core components.

I'm doing the best I can to schedule things to go out so people can continue
developing apps while we continue with building the system, but at the same
time we are building something fairly deep and complex.

I am of the opinion that it's worth it :)

So:
    -part of the system is ready
    -much of the advanced toolset hasn't been integrated (think huge time
savings)
    -some of the important core components are either not done, or not
mature.
