Sorry, but I have to disagree here.  I don't know what you mean by
"less stable", but it hasn't crashed on me in my full-time use of it.
If it crashes for you, make it better for everyone by submitting a bug
report.

It *does* coexist with gpm.  I don't usually run gpm, but I just tried
it and it worked fine.  I can switch between text & X virtual consoles
and the mouse works in both.  Make sure that you have configured gpm
and Metro to use the same device (ie. don't use ttyS0 for Metro and
cua0 for gpm).  If you use different devices, that would cause it to
fail.

Harder to use is of course relative, but I think the graphical
configuration is quite nice, and once it's up and running there isn't
any difference in use.
