Somewhere in the middle.
I have been using it for the last couple of month because I was too lazy to install another browser.

It regular hangs and crashes so I decided to just install firefox today. Already its noticeably faster.

Am I alone in thinking Edge/IE or whatever they call it is pretty crap?
 
Nope you are not alone but I wouldn't say it was crap rather than just not as good as the alternatives. Can't say I've had any specific issues but the lack of add-ons, visual options, the way Chrome seamlessly syncs across devices and OS's plus the fact I find it noticeably slower means I have no inclination or reason to use it anytime soon.
 
I've not really had any problems with it aside from sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own but I've no idea why anyone would use it over Firefox or Chrome, etc.
 
haven't had any issues with hanging/crashing.
and I find it renders websites that ie/crome wont.

however its so feature incomplete I don't use it unless I have an issue with a website rendering in the others.

once it has some big feature updates I can see it being my main browser.
 
I don't like it, when I have tried to watch 4K YT videos in Edge it always goes pixelated and freezes. No such issues in Chrome. No add on support lets it down too.
 
I like Edge from a pure browser rendering experience, as well as speed... but as others have said it is significantly feature incomplete... Until they port some of the usability from IE11 across, I'll continue to use IE11!
