I am currently beta testing the Director and so far AI is very responsive. Although there have been problems getting started, they've been quick to fix any bugs and address major issues. Still some things to work out, but I think ultimately when it does get a full release it will be a great product. I must add as a beta tester, I had the older "new controller" as backup, so when the director wasn't working for me, I still had something. People that had nothing but the director were I am sure, less than thrilled, but it is a beta release (probably should have been alpha, but I'm happy with it so far)
