Xenophage so far is extremely satisfying to use. From a player sense standpoint, it feels extremely good to use. The stat tuning, the sights, the [b][i]sound[/i][/b], the impact with each round. It's up there in terms of best designed exotics I feel.
Does it under performs compared to other exotic heavy weapons? I think it under performs compared to my Outrageous Fortune, so yeah it doesn't exactly work out well.
...but hot damn is it so satisfying to just chew through groups of enemies with what is essentially an anti-air flak gun.
[spoiler]Also you're letting Omar get his vengeance by helping him kill the minions of the darkness. That's pretty nice too.[/spoiler]

So the aesthetic aspects of the gun are good is what you’re saying. Not exactly a hot take. Also what do you mean by “stat tuning”?
