Providing you keep the blade well honed then its no different to an ordinary chef knife, albeit a little heavier.
I use a cheap ?3 cleaver from Wing Yips and love it.
Once you get the feel for the heavy blade you dont really look back. As Edwin says, using the width of the blade for transporting chopped food is a blessing on its own, let alone being ablt to slice, dice and chop boned meats all with the same cheap blade.
