OSMC - Release Candidate - RPi and RPi2

I've been using OSMC since my RPi2 arrived, previously I was using Raspbmc on the RPi.

Finally a release candidate is available.

What is this like compared to OpenELEC? I'm yet to find anything that comes close to how nice it runs.

I've never liked OE.
Every time I've tried to use it, it's been a buggy mess.

I've found the complete opposite, oe has always been rock stable and smooth as butter, I only use it to stream movies from my nas, play music and the odd online stream

OSMC has a better interface and is not locked down, so you can run/install other programs. But nothing other than that.

Edit: The interface is not quite as nice in the RC.

I think there are big plans for OSMC to add an app store, VNC suppot etc and I installed the RC last night after previously using Alpha4.

The RC is a bit more polished but as others have said it's still not as smooth as OE in my opinion. However I like the idea of the where OSMC is heading so sticking with it for now.

However I cannot stand the stock skin they ship and have gone back to the one OE uses.

App store is working, and I'm sticking with the Confluence skin because the missus knows her way around it

Installed RC of OSMC on to my Pi 2 last night, Installed fine with no issues. Overclocked Pi to 1000mhz in settings and it's working great
