What's great about it: Only smooth cooktop with downdraft and bridge element
What's not so great: Knobs are cheap looking
The reason we choose this particular model was that it seems to be the ONLY smooth cooktop of any major brand with downdraft exhaust and a bridge element.
We've had our GE downdraft cooktop for a little over a week. Everything so far has been great. In another home we'd had a smooth cooktop before and really missed it. It heats quickly and has a lot of different heating element configurations for a 4-eye 30" cooktop. It has a melt setting, a small/large eye setting, and a bridge element for double burner griddles and grills.
If I had one complaint at this point it would be that the knobs have a cheap look and feel. GE should just upgrade this model or make an optional model with electronic touch controls. We'd have that one if it existed.
For those who have not had a glass cooktop before, yes, they are harder to keep looking clean, but being diligent on wiping up messes and spills quickly helps a lot. This one in particular is a little tougher to keep that pristine look because outside of the demarcations for the eyes there are no graphics. Most smooth cooktops have some sort of light speckling on the cooktop which helps to hide little smears and streaks.
I will update my review if anything changes.

What's great about it: Looks nice and quick heating time
What's not so great: Cleaning, long cooling times
Delivery times could be improved. We purchased from Best Buy online and it took the full 10 days for it to be delivered.
Negative comment: Cleaning is not easy, takes a lot of muscle to get it sparkly and stains out.
Positive comments: Excellent in reaching max temp, but takes a lot longer to cool down (maybe be because it's glass). Looks pretty nice and I like the 3 speed exhaust fan.
