Views 2 hit beta recently and this felt like a good time to jump onboard and check it out. I've only been playing with it for a couple of hours, but this definitely feels like the biggest change I've encountered when going from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6.

Bear in mind that I am not a developer, so I can't really comment on the vast changes under the hood, but I wanted to highlight some initial first impressions from a themer/site builder's perspective.
