Loving it so far! My iPad 4 is simply a pleasure to use again, super fast and silky smooth 
Awesome stuff Apple.

My 4S is much nicer now! Is anyone else getting the reverse order in the music app for albums? When you tap Artists>Albums they now show the newest first. Not sure I like that change...
Good release, but the font in favorites from contacts looks blurry to me. Actually the font in favorites is a lot thicker compared to "recents".
And unfortunately the translucency in control center has been reduced greatly, which is a shame cause it was pretty much perfect. Now it's really not that far from what iPhone 4 users get.
Last but not least, perspective zoom. Is it just another name for removing the parallax effect quickly and conveniently when setting a wallpaper? Turning it off will greatly reduce the effect. However, leaving it on or turning it on will basically zoom in and turn on the "parallax". I guess this is a way of deciding whether or not you want parallax without removing all the other animations?

Never felt like iOS 7 was slow, but after installing iOS 7.1 on my devices, I can definitely feel and see the difference.
Still a LITTLE bit buggy, but I'm sure 7.1.1 can sort it out.
I'm using iPhone 5s, but we have an iPhone 4 in the house and surprisingly the iPhone 4 is really smooth and performance feels a lot better with iOS 7.1. It's amazing how a four year old device can become so fluid with just a bit of optimisation.

Why is it so slow. I thought animations were supposed to be faster.
There is now a huge lag when going from safari to the home screen where the icons don't even show for a second.

My 5S is flying now! I see now why people were saying 7.0 was slow. Can't wait to update my mini when I get home from work!
but is it snappy? thats the real question
Compared to beta 5, the official update seems a hair smoother on my iPhone 5 and a lot smoother on my iPad mini.
All round I'm impressed although I hate the new keyboard looks clunky and to in you're face old keyboard was way better
