v56 used around 700 MB, which is now 400 MB in Quantum. Quantum is very resposnive as well. Gives a crisp feel when you use it when compared to v56. But, old adds are lot.
Now i look closely, CPU % used to be 2 which is 4 in Quantum. Might affect battery life. But, it is worth the upgrade with the crisp feel when you use it.

for me, most inconvenient addon updates are web developer, greasemonkey & stylish ...
at least 20 legacy addons are blocked (can't override) & few available replacements are not much useful ...

I like the new version... although it's interface was stark different from previous versions, and had to get used to it.
It's a bit faster too than the previous versions.
I didn't like the toolbar, had a lot of empty space, and didn't like the placement of buttons too. But, I found that you can remove the empty space, called as flexible space now, by removing it. I also changed placement of icons, like Home, and Back button. I removed the Sidebars icon, and instead put in the Bookmarks there. Now, it's to my liking.
I used very less add-ons... FEBE, Xmarks, Flashgot, ublock origin. Of these, FEBE won't be developed, and I will really miss it.... it was a great add-on, very useful.
They did develop webextension for Xmarks, but it isn't working. It messed up my bookmarks, and of many others too. Also, when I went to the add-on page on Firefox site, it says it isn't compatible with Quantum. I think they are working on fixing it.
There was news that Flashgot would develop webextension, but they haven't updated yet. But, it's not a problem for me, since I used Free Download Manager, and their own extension to catch downloads from Firefox works well.
ublock origin is a webextension now, and is working great.
I am happy with Firefox, and will continue to use it.

Still on ESR for Java support.
My experience with FF is not so great. And I have no issues with the drawbacks of Chrome - I continue to use it daily.
