I'm all in. I installed 5.1 configured my desktop and promptly upgraded to 5.2, you're responsible for upgrading your desktop, so when I updated to 5.2 from disk, it re-installed the core and my desktop popped up just fine, then I had to upgrade my applications via pkg_add. pkg_delete is cool too and includes the option of bringing your install back to core, by default it doesn't delete your configuration files, but the option is there if you want.

I use the BlackBox window manager, I'm not sure about Gnome or KDE. Blackbox has great documentation.

With blackbox, firefox, gnash, and mplayer I can download and listen to music from my Amazon account if I download my songs one at a time. The gnash package crashes a bit when visiting Youtube, but NoScript and FlashBlock both work.

I like Blackbox and OpenBSD together because with Blackbox you absolutely have to read the documentation and I think that mindset compliments OpenBSD quite well.
