Exactly my experience. I tried it years ago and thought it was poor (for my use). I tried it again a couple of weeks ago and I'm falling in love with it. I think the ePub rendering/customization has improved a lot. Things I like so far:
* Footer/progress bar customization. I see page numbers (real pages/screenfuls, not synthetic page numbers), pages left in the chapter, current time...
* Much more responsive and easy to control highlighting. With nickel it's always hit and miss and I often have to try several times before I manage to highlight what I want.
* With the proper tweaks (menu-selectable), footnotes/endnotes can be shown as real footnotes or popups, no kepub or epub3 formatting, just reasonable class names. (It works in my books, at least.)
* Real small-caps! If the chosen fonts has small-caps, Koreader can display them with "font-variant: small-caps".
