It's awesome. I find it a significant improvement. Basically the biggest win is that you can now work with the benefits of source control in your own environment. You can experiment much easier and backing out partial changes is so much easier (provided you do regular commits to your own repo.)
Main challenge other than learning how to use a DVCS vs CVCS has been the linux factor. Git is great in a linux environment and can be a giant pain in a windows environment. Git is also highly customizable, but for that reason is also much more complex than something like Mercurial.
