As a Cedega user, I have a couple minor (or not so minor) problems with it:

1) Cedega's system is optimized for certain specific games, and those 
are the only ones they promise support on. If your game isn't in the 
Cedega database as a supported game, you're on your own if you try to 
install or run it.

2) Cedega absolutely does not (and will not) support any Windows game 
that has a Linux version, even if the Linux version is crap (Neverwinter 
Nights is a classic example of this problem).
