​What's stopping you from loading the latest Windows 10 for Mobile build into your daily driver?

For me, it's mainly the following:
1. Xbox Music Pass subscription not working with Groove
2. Infrequent but very annoying occurrence of the 'resuming....' state when moving from home screen to different apps

These may not be nothing for other users but these are deal-breakers for me. How about you?
 
I'm not one to be a tester of builds. I would rather update to the finished product when it is all done. I'm also not a fan of possibly losing my stuff and not being able to recover it.
 
Good subject!
I'm with libra...
After being an obsessed geek for so many years I'm just not that curious anymore.
I just want my stuff to work these days.

I have latest build, I don't experience any of these issues, I'm using mine as a daily driver continously, the only draw back I find it the automatic playing music when sync to car stereo has now gone. It means you have to load your list manually.
 
With my 1520 and after using the latest TP version, WP8.1 is much more fluid and faster. I don't like the constant refreshing in the Photos app, but the deal breaker is the current state of the Outlook app. The current WP8.1 app is way more stable and better.
 
My 1520, doesn't show Gustavo's issues, the 1520 is quicker with 10 than 8.1, did you restore after a backup and complete wipe?
 
My showstopper on the 1520 is due to touch inaccuracy with Age of Empires: Castle Siege. This is likely a problem with the app not being optimized for Win10M just yet, but it's a game I tend to play regularly so that has kept me from running 10166 as a daily driver.
 
I have it on both my L1520 and 640XL did the upgrade then wipe clean everything runs fine much faster on 1520 but to me it seems win 10 was made for 640XL & 640. I keep a 640 with win 8.1 for backup purposes but so far so good imported most of my music into onedrive from iTunes until they allow groove music pass to work I'm ok.
 
My experience with installing 10 on my 822 has kept me from trying it on my 830. I've rolled back after every build, except for the last one. That build has been working pretty good. It's very slow and the "resuming" screen shows up quite a bit. Having said that though, it was working well enough to keep on the 822. It still wasn't smooth enough for me to go for it on my 830.
 
Top five reasons for not running Windows 10 for Mobile on my Lumia 1020:

Battery life is really, really bad compared to latest 8.1 (yes I have done hard reset).
Nokia Camera and other apps are missing.
Camera quality when using Windows Camera is bad.
OneDrive auto uploading is not working.
8.1 feels easier to use and some system apps like Store and Outlook is much faster and better on 8.1
 
Stability. I have it on my 920 and imho its to unstable to use. When it stabilizes on my 920, I will load it on my 1520.
 
I don't like the UI changes, Mail and Calendar are buggy, Edge is rubbish, speed of opening apps, lag when scrolling through screens
