I tried it out and it is very good, but beware of possible extension issues (i.e. slowdowns) if you have many other extensions installed already.

It looks cool. I did a bit of an announcement over at CNET about the inclusion of Juice, just wondering if you have any thoughts about it, or if you've used the English-language version.

Yeah I read that piece in the Tech Dynasty. I am using the English version of it and the text changer was interesting, but I disabled it. The tab tweaks were neat too, but the other add-ons were the best IMO. My add-ons with it were too much and it slowed the browser down, hence the disabling.
