I'm using 15.1, yes.
I installed it and got a couple crashes and was ready to go back to 14.2 when the word got out that a fix (15.2?) was due real.soon.now. So I waited...
Still...
...waiting...
I get about a crash/hang a week.
Which is...almost tolerable... but only because my first eink reader was/is a BeBook. So I'm used to regular crashes. Compared to the BeBook, 15.1 is a rock of stability.
Compared to 14.2? Not quite. I can see how it got out of Beta, though...
Everytime I get one I think about going back to 14.2 but since it means a full recharge first, I put it off...
Anyway, I live in 15.1 but I don't use ADE much.
I tried the new sizes and they're well-chosen but you can't get rid of the side numbers or the status bar, much less both as I prefer.
And since there's no way in... heck... I'm going to reward Adobe for hijacking epub I don't buy Adobe-drm'ed ebooks and I have no real need for ADE except when reading Calibre-captured magazines which are slavishly formatted for ADE's quirks and interpretations of the spec.

YMMV.
