YES!! They are much more maneuverable than if the designer had built a stable aircraft.

They are so twitchy a human being cannot react fast enough to keep them from destroying themselves.

IIRC, IL2 players complained quite a bit about the P51 Mustang FM's being twitchy.

That is sort of how an airplane with a small enough stability margin to be considered neutral in longitudinal flying qualities will behave.
