The whiny goth kid probably thinks they are playing Raistlin.
Don't get me wrong, in the right hands and the right game it might be fun. The gal who plays Strix on Dice Camera Action plays this kind of character ... but she has a sense of fun about playing it that bleeds through.
Anyway I'm done with my cranky old man bit. Feel free to resume explaining how you're so excited to play a clinically depressed moping flop of misery.

I think Mearls did a decent job highlighting the Dark Humor potential. This is what I would stress if one of my players wanted to go down this route.

Every place I have seen people talk about it was very very positive.

That's good to hear. I tend to like things that are pretty niche, so I'm never confident that things I like will appeal to the masses. But I guess the hobby is pretty niche, so there you go.

Yeah it was extremely popular on reddit and having played one for a one shot I am decidedly a fan
Although it has the stats of a dire wolf, its size medium. So you would need to be a halfling, gnome or a member of another small race. Its ability to move through objects and creatures is written a lot like the incorporeal quality on a lot of creatures, so depending the DM, it can become a lot greater complication.
Mmmm... i now want to play an extremely edgelordy halfling sorcerer(shadow)/fighter(cavalier), who rides on his summon or a shadow mastiff...

The stone sorcerer was a cool subclass, although I felt like the name of the subclass needed a change. Doesn't really feel like a sorcerer focused on stone.
