I have one at work ... not many of my applications use it (but if I get X on 
my PC I will :-) ), but so far I have not found it to be bothersome.  I 
generally prefer optical mice (have one at home) so any mechanical is "weird" 
to me.  Dragging is easier than I thought, and the layout is excellent, much 
superior to the "real inverted mouse" trackball others make.  If i's a 
trackball you want, go for "the man", otherwise I'd stick with the optical 
mouse mouse myself.
