I have read the entire books of Romans and 1 Corinthians in the HCSB and it's really easy for me to read while not sacrificing the deep meanings, e.g. the Living Bible.

Does anyone else have a good experience with it?

I had a copy once and liked it. Out of new translations, I certainly like it more than the ESV. It was a nice edition too (the Minister's/Paragraph edition). Kind of sad it isn't as popular within Baptist circles itself (seeing that it was first headed by them).

I've heard very good things about it, and liked it the few times I read it.

The HCSB is no longer printed now, btw. It's been revised and renamed as the CSB.

Is that there much difference? I thought it was just a name change.

Interesting. I like looking at various translations.
Those 2 are included on Biblehub, for those interested:

Revelation 1:1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,

Revelation 1:1
Christian Standard Bible
The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,

Holman Christian Standard Bible
The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave Him to show His slaves what must quickly take place. He sent it and signified it through His angel to His slave John,

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
G1401 matches the Greek δοῦλος (doulos), which occurs 127 times in 119 verses

1401. doulos doo'-los from 1210; a slave (literal or figurative, involuntary or voluntary; frequently, therefore in a qualified sense of subjection or subserviency):--bond(-man), servant.

Changes from the HCSB to the CSB
With the goals of increased fidelity to the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic texts and increased clarity for today’s readers, the Translation Oversight Committee has updated the text of the Holman Christian Standard Bible. This translation, renamed the Christian Standard Bible, incorporates advances in biblical scholarship and input from Bible scholars, pastors, and readers to sharpen both accuracy and readability. In addition to a verse-by-verse review, the translation team also made changes to the HCSB text in the following areas:

Capitalization of Pronouns Referring to God

Use of “Tongues” Instead of “Languages” in Some Texts

Use of “Yahweh” as God’s Personal Name

Rendering Doulos as “Servant” Instead of “Slave”

Translating Gender Language into English
