Also, upgrading to the final release will happen automatically with your usual `apt-get upgrade`. Edit: to clarify, I mean upgrading from this release to the final.
Would that be the same case if I installed a daily build from a week ago?
Based on your experience is it stable enough to upgrade to already? Previously some final betas were.
I would use this magnificent milestone to raise my hand and ask... Nvidia, where are my native Linux Optimus drivers?

A few notes: - the "stability" I refer to is always minor errors - I remove lots of packages every time I install it, although I've experienced system error notifications even when I didn't uninstall anything
All in all, I'd say that there is a lack of polishing, at the low-level, more than lack of stability.
There is no excuse for having the installation fail, though, and it happened a number of times.
To reply the question directly, I've used betas a few times, and they worked as much as the final version for me. I wouldn't do it now though - in the past, for my usage, some types of changes were very significant; today, I get very little in upgrading.
fyi: "final release expected on April 17th, 2014."

Normal upgrades also require apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade the kernel as there's a new package.

I've found the Ubuntu [Desktop] stability to be in constant decline over the time, even experiencing bugs in the installers in the latest versions.

I wish I never upgraded to 13.10. Sometimes drag-maximizing my window can crash my entire system. And compiz leaks memory like a sieve, sometimes I will wake up to find compiz using ~5.5gb of memory and the system will be unusable. Gotta restart!
When I first upgraded, I thought "oh, it's always like this at the start, they'll fix it." And here we are at the next version and it still hasn't been fixed.
Probably jumping ship (to another Linux distro) once my next work deadline passes.

Are you sure that's true? Normally it requires do release upgrade? Normal upgrades also require apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade the kernel as there's a new package.
