What is Super Expo in the latest Betaflight?
#1
I see a lot of guys talking about Super Expo in the new Betaflight firmware, saying it's making flight characteristics much better. 
Can someone explain what it is?

Super Expo is just the rename of previous Acro Plus feature (or insane acro - http://intofpv.com/t-betaflight-2-3-0-ne...cro-factor )

It decreases the PID control towards the end of the sticks rather than increase the rates. It makes it a lot smoother and closer in feel to the MW23 PID controller.
Some say Boris is trying to minic the behaviour in KISS FC with this new feature, I am not sure.

it's another exponential curve on top of your current RC rate/expo, and it's doing it's thing on the PID level (or only P, if i'm right). result is softer midstick and higher rates at full deflection. acro plus "done right"

So, does that mean at middle stick range, the quad would feel flying normal, but at the stick end points it would feel extremely sensitive ?

Yep, exactly. Depending on the factor, you can go from gentle flight to insane flips.

Isn't this what TPA does already?

Super Expo is awesome, it allows your FPV chair to move up and down, round and round much like you are in a real jet fighter, the use of super expo is not for the faint hearted.

Not the same thing.. http://intofpv.com/t-what-is-tpa-in-cleanflight

TPA affects your PID depends on your throttle but doesn't affect your rate..
