I really haven't experienced much of it, but I can't see myself liking it for desktops/laptops. Seeing as I feel completely irritated whenever I have to use MS Explorer and WMP instead of DirectoryOpus and Zoom Player, and generally I like to have my PC behave the way I want it to. Also, maybe because I don't game on it, I haven't really experienced any hardware difficulties in the past 2-3 years. Both Windows (XP, 7) and Ubuntu pretty much discover and operate everything reasonably well, and then there is some very custom stuff like my Logitech G15 keyboard, which needs its drivers and apps for the extra stuff it does, but I'll take that rather than having a standard keyboard out of the box (which is the starting position before installing the extra things anyway.
My PC is pretty feeble by now, horsepower isn't really its thing at all. It feels pretty good to use though, and everything I've customized or replaced makes it easier and/or faster for me, and delights me much more than the default.
So-so about phones and consoles. I really mostly use them for phone calls and gaming respectively. I still like mods though, when they give some nice extra options.
