is 64 bit ready for primetime yet?

[Paul Lemmons]

When Natty comes out I am planning on doing a clean install. My first on 
this particular machine since Feisty. I am considering the 64 bit 
version. The machine has more than 4GB of ram so I have been 
successfully running the pae version without any real hiccups.  It has 
been a long time since I considered "real" 64 bit and was wondering has 
it matured to the point where it is as smooth, application and stability 
wise, as the 32 bit version? In particular: Firefox? Flash? Java? VMWare 
Workstation?
