This is one of those times when even I (an outspoken PLAY hater) have been satisfied and pleased with it. This is definitely a step in the right direction and the update clearly made PLAY better.
My general sentiments, as well. I used Play because a couple of the EW libraries are an essential part of my basic template, but didn't particularly enjoy it. I find Play 6 easier to use and more intuitive.
