I gave it shot for a while because I needed the Turbo feature. I liked using Opera, it was fast and the new chrome-like GUI is nice. However... as soon as my internet was back at full capacity I changed back to Chrome. You say you like it because of the completeness, but I found that it was missing quite a few small things which I cannot live without. Off the top off my head I can only remember two things -

Tabs cannot be dragged in and out of windows

Text cannot be selected and dragged into the URL bar

You can right click the text and select "Go to web address". It's quicker in my opinion.

Tabs CAN be dragged - at least on Windows and Linux - not sure about Mac.

I also fell in love with tab stacking. It's just easier to group tabs into stacks in a single browser window than having separate windows. In later case I spend waaay too much time clicking wrong window.
