My brief but positive experience with the TBM can be summed up as "it is one hell of an airplane, and probably the only single-engine turboprop I would want to personally own someday."
Getting it slow, then cobbing the power without stepping on the rudder is a surefire way to have some "fun" as well. But it is, indeed, an excellent airframe. A lot of the accidents that ended poorly, at least in my opinion and from when I did a bit of research on them a few years ago, have been poor ADM or aircraft handling.
