I use it most days, all day, on Ubuntu 64-bit 12.04. The 2.2 version would hang on initial connection 50% of the time - I would have to Alt-Ctrl-F1 to a text console to pkill it. The 4.0 version is much better at connecting, and has not yet hung. Once connected, both versions were solid at calls, but sometimes threw a wobbly of I suspended and resumed.

I'll just add my 2 cents.....
With the recently released 4.0, and also with 2.2, I've found it 
tends to wipe out PulseAudio on a regular basis....  usually taking 
any other audio apps with it (usually RhythmBox).  And that's not 
just during calls.  It happens when playing the sign-in and sign-out 
sounds as well......

I never explicitly use it but thought i would try it 
out. Im running debian x64 w/ 3.x kernel and it bails out during 
most calls. Maybe an x64 issue / compat libs? Will try it out on 
my gentoo when i get home.

I'm running 2.2 and have never had any 'exciting' issues. Runs fine for  
days under Mint 12. 
Note I don't use it intensely, just forget to shut it down :)
