Is it easy to pull the nib and feed out for a thorough cleaning?

Indeed - quite elegant. I love these pens.

How's it write? That's the important part to me.
BTW, the nib and feed are together and they unscrew.

It writes quite smoothly. It does come apart easily too.

It is a beautiful pen and I do find it true that using fountain pens brings a new sense of joy to my writing experience.
