It's a bit of a pain to find ECC mobos for desktops.
I looked for some when I built my last workstation seen that I was putting 16 GB in but ended up using stupid normal RAM : (
Now between SSH, SCP, SSL / TLS, Git, diffs before commits, unit tests, etc. I'd be really unlikely to have a bit flip really "destroying my work" : )
So, yeah, 16 GB of non-ECC memory on a Linux workstation which regularly reaches 6 months of uptime: no need to enter in a paranoia either for a desktop/workstation.
For servers, ECC is great...
