Agreed. I've been using it for about 2 years without issue. I've also recently (within last 3 weeks) installed it on a fresh OS X install (on two, actually) and the experience was without incident and hassle free. The only thing that I had issues with was plugins using the remote api from node because I kept forgetting to install node_host (which was mentioned in the README and I just overlooked). Once I remembered to install that (and node locally), everything just worked.
