Those who have a 4.4 kitkat device- how you finding it?

My battery has been a lot better since 4.4 on the 2012 nexus 7. Other than that don't see much difference in anything else
 
Finding battery improvements as well, not sure of its kit kat, ART, or both - but it is noticeable. I haven't even tried kit kat with dalvik, very stoked with ART.

What if any apps have been broken using ART?

I haven't tried many of mine but did discover Slingplayer doesn't work using ART. I use it quite a bit so I've switched back to Dalvik.

Thought I read somewhere that Whatsapp also doesn't work using ART, but I don't personally use it, so don't quote me on that. 😉
 
4.4 kitkat is not a huge update, but from what i've been told it lays the ground work for the next os version which is suppose to be a major update.
But everything is just speculation at this point

Well that doesnt explain much. I still dont know exactly what it does.

That's why it's in Developer Options (which have to be unlocked). It's not for casual users. If you don't understand then you shouldn't be using it - as again, it's beta/experimental.
