First, to be fair - I've never used a gyuto or similarly more "high-end" knife, but I've used a decent number of other knives including the requisite WÜSTHOF and J.A. Henckels. This, to me, outshines them.
I was unsure at first, because while I'd had great experience with Victorinox blades (I once removed the feet from 120 chickens in a single sitting with a Victorinox pairing knife and didn't need to sharpen it once during the process - and no one present was sure when it last had been before I started) I wasn't sure I liked the style of the handle on the Swiss Modern knives.
Seeing it in person changed that - it looks clean and modern but not in an in-your-face way, and, more importantly, it feels great in the hand. I wanted to cut something with it as soon as I was holding it and, in the year since, I've had plenty of opportunity to do so.
I've put it through tomatoes, chicken, beef, pork, potatoes, carrots, onions, pizza, watermelons, pineapples, cake, and a plethora of other stuff - it handles it all brilliantly. It cuts easily and cleanly, so it can slice a cake without squishing, get thin slices of tomatoes and onions, and still get through the tough rind of a watermelon, all with minimal effort.
It's also very easy to clean, a major plus.
I've used it at least 5-6 times a week for a year, and haven't needed to sharpen it yet - great, on one hand, because it stays sharp, but annoying on the other because I almost feel like it'll be "getting to" sharpen it rather than "needing to," though much of this comes down to, again, how much I love the way that odd handle fits in my hand.
For context, if it matters to you: I have reasonably large hands (XL to XXL glove size generally) and am left-handed. Your hand size may effect the fit for you, but your best bet would be to hold it to find out.
