I too was stunned at how effortlessly stable the aircraft seems in the hover. The thing looks as though it's been nailed to the sky, and when descending it looks like it's coming down on a lift. A truly impressive fusion of mechanical, hydraulic, electronic and computer systems that appears to give its pilot so many options and advantages.
