I've been using the latest version (a pre-alpha) from the Opera Labs and it's quite good. They're definitely going with a minimalistic look and borrowing the tabs-on-title feature from Chrome - please don't say Tabs-on-Top was invented by Chrome, I was using tabs-on-top before Google even thought about Chrome . Here's a screenie of my setup (I clean up a lot of stuff - see the bottom of this post for default pics).
It crashes occasionally and there's a nasty regression with the bookmark middle-clicking but I'm loving the speed too much to care. Not just benchmark numbers but actual real-life speed: heavy-duty JS sites are much faster. They've also cleanified a lot of the modal windows so the experience is a lot smoother. Since I've already been using dim-to-find in my favourite text editor the new find-in-page experience is quite nice but I can see why some people might not like it.
It now supports jump-lists and superbar thumbnails but still no 7/Vista save dialogue window (grrrr).
If you're feeling adventurous and understand what pre-alpha means go here for the download and a run-down of the major features.
