Got this for my first rope, so I have nothing specific to compare it too. It seems to kink/twist a fair amount. Is there a break-in period? Or is it user error?

So, to answer my own question, there did seem to be a break in period. After about 5-10 days of light use, the rope softened up noticeably. Now, aside from munter hitches and sloppy coiling, it's very smooth.

It depends how you're using the rope. Lowering off anchors can induce a fair bit of twist. Try rappelling off it a few times, you can knot the ends, but don't knot them together. That seems to get a lot of the kinks out of ropes.
