Great remote with lots of 1st rev issues
If you owned the 880 (or 890) the 'One' is a welcome addition. In fact, the remote is better laid out, the screen and feel are almost flawless, the buttons are well lit.
The problems come with this being early in the game: The commands and mismatches the remote has are still many; while the 880 controls your system without any issues, the One had 2 mismaps for a VSX-94 receiver, has too short IR bursts for HL-R Samsung TV models, cannot learn short-burst IR (for example the Nyko remote for the PS3 - which the 880 has NO problems with).
Logitech 2nd level support for Harmony is very good, and usually can help - making changes on your behalf that the software has no access to. But, wait half a year and you hopefully would not have those headaches.
Also, important to note, the IR field of vision is MUCH MORE NARROW than the 880 and 890; while the former could be pointed almost anywhere and the IR signal would hit your component at any angle, the One has issues with some equipment with recessed IR receivers - such as a lot of receivers by Denon and Pioneer. This is too bad, as, again, the 880 and 890 (as well as Sony AR-3000) have IRs shooting in a much broader fashion.
The One could easily be the best remote Harmony/Logitech have ever made. It needs a rev 2 to make it so, I am afraid.
