I have the Microzoid version of this tent which is an identical design with smaller dimensions. This is a really well designed tent and it performs well in pretty everything short of mountaineering. It pitches in about a minute with no fuss. You have to set it up in the right sequence following their directions to make sure the fly is taught, comes down to the ground, and doesn't sag. After you set it up right once it’s second nature. A small guy-line (included) helps with setup. The tent is water tight, strong enough to take some snow, and is stable in all but the windiest conditions. I once camped on the plains in Montana in sustained 35-40 mph winds and it was solid. The vestibule is really well designed and gives you some adjustability to fine tune the ventilation. The small peak vent is effective. I've experienced some condensation on still, humid nights, but show me a tent that won't do that in such conditions. The cut on the fly is very trim, so if you aren't camping on absorbent ground, rain rolling off the fly will pool under the tent. I've used it on approximately 80 nights and it's held up really well. The only thing I've noticed is the seam tape on the floor is starting to separate, but it's an easy fix and for such a lightweight tent, it's amazingly durable. Big thumbs up to MSR on making a great product.
