Other than that, has been great for the price. Miter gauge is mostly crap, but that's pretty consistent in this price range.

Was easy enough to put together, and it folds up nicely.
This is probably true of most modern saws, but the on/off switch is awesome. The lightest of taps with your knee are all that is needed to shut down. My old Ryobi had a recessed flip switch (like a light switch), which required you to use a hand to turn off.
The blade was already as square as I can accurately measure with the miter slots. Blade run off was also hard to measure since it was so small, my dial gauge is 0.01mm increments, and it deflected less than an increment, so maybe 0.005mm off.
The fence required some adjusting, it was lifted too high from the table surface, almost 1/8" of an inch, so I just used a piece of paper to gauge the desired gap I wanted, loosened the screws and lowered it. The fence distance indicator also had to be adjusted a tad, was off by maybe 1/16 of an inch.
The blade guard is easy to install and remove, does an okay job managing dust. I have not tried the anti-kick back insert yet.
Few complaints:
No official way to mount out feed, in feed or side extensions to the table. I'll figure something out though.
The miter gauge is practically useless as is. Way too much play in the slot, but I had no intention of using it, and instead make my own cross cut sleds, where I can also do miter cuts with. If you must use the miter gauge, shore up it's guide rail with tape so it fits more securely in the miter slots.
The insert has an extremely annoying geometry, necessitating relief cut outs undereneath, so making zero clearance inserts is going to be a pain.
The supplied push stick is useless for anything less than 3/4" thickness. I have no idea why they made it so tall.
The supplied power cord is too short.
All told, for under $300, this saw was an absolute bargain.
